Pump Cloth & Leather for Ampico A Pump Found
By Dale Abrams

To all fellow MMDers,  Thanks so much for input for finding bellows
cloth and flap valve leather for my Ampico.  Doug fixed me up and
Schaff piano supply had graphite, bushing cloth and grease for my
pump rebuild.  Tuned our club's 1143 Wurli this morning for Sunday's
concert.  Maybe I can get the Ampico pump finished in March.  By the
way, the bellows hinge cloth came from Joanne's fabrics -- duck cloth,
like Carhartt brown duck material.

Thanks,
Dale Abrams
