Hi Everyone -- Well, sometimes you come across something unique.
I picked up a Reproduco (Operators Piano Company) that is complete
but only for parts.  The piano itself was beyond repair due to the
way it was stored for the last thirty or so years.  The back of
the piano seems pretty good so maybe someone out there MMD land has
a Coinola project where a new back or plate is needed.  I have all
the pipes and the blower, which is quite a large unit, larger than
the one with the Reproduco that was on eBay recently.  I also got
a bunch of rolls which are in the N.O.S. format.

The whole thing kinda made me laugh a little, having seen all the
comments here lately on things going to the dump.  That's where this
thing was headed and it just seemed to me that maybe something could
be done with this unusual machine.  The woman who had said it belonged
to an "Ex" husband who used to like to go out in the garage and tinker
with this piano.  Well, I guess, the hubby got the bums rush at some
point and the piano remained to remind her of the happy union.

So if you think might be able to use something from this piano send,
along an email.

Thanks,
