Operating the Ampico A Grand Piano
By Darryl Zempel

This may seem like a silly request but here goes.  What is the correct
sequence of events to play a roll on an Ampico A grand?

I'm asking because I think I may have the On-Off switch incorrectly
wired and could use this answer to get down to a solution.

Thank You,
Darryl Zempel

 [ I believe this is the sequence for the Ampico B drawer:
 [ 1. Power switch Off, move Play/Rewind lever to Play;
 [ 2. insert music roll, attach roll leader to take-up spool;
 [ 3. turn power switch On.
 [ I don't remember the Ampico A sequence.  -- Robbie
