Wind Motor Runs Rough
By Dennis Pelton

I'm working with a player piano.  I've got it running but the
roll drive (five-banger) wind motor is uneven -- it gallumphs along.
Any suggestions where I should start looking to smooth it out?
Extra vacuum makes it run more powerfully, but it still stutters.
