Seek Parts for Wurlitzer Style "I" Coin Piano
By Shawn Quigley

Hello MMD'ers,  I have an empty 1928 Wurlitzer Style I 65-note
automatic player piano [A.P.P.], serial no. 92704.  The piano parts
are all there, but the player parts have been gutted.

I am considering starting this as a project.  Would anyone have any
ideas or leads on making this piano complete and play once again?

Thanks for your help,

 [ I think the most efficient way would be to discard the gutted
 [ piano (it's worth nothing) and buy a complete piano to restore;
 [ it will cost you less and consume much less restoration time.
 [ For example, a complete and restorable 10-tune Wurlitzer "long
 [ roll frame" assembly will cost at least $1000 if you can find one
 [ for sale.  If the original APP tracker bar is missing that will
 [ cost a few hundred dollars to replace, and so on!  -- Robbie
