FS: Pianola Push-up & 58-note & 65-note Rolls
By Douglas Heckrotte

I have an early (pre-Metrostyle) Pianola in partially-old-restored
condition.  It is complete except for sustain pedal pusher and some
of the associated linkage, and is missing the elevation crank.  It
will require complete restoration to operate; it leaks like a sieve.

Nothing appears wrong that would make restoration more difficult,
but who knows what glue the previous restorer used on the striker
pneumatics?  I have several hundred 58- and 65-note rolls for it
(stored in 17 banker's boxes).

I'm asking $600 for the machine and $10 per roll.  I'm not enthused
about sorting through rolls for favored numbers.  I'm not enthused
about shipping; come and get it/them in Philadelphia.
