I have a customer with a Universal player piano (it has "American"
name on it) which I have rebuilt in the last five years and it plays
quite well.  This week their area of St. Louis had severe weather and
lightning struck near or directly hit their house or satellite dish.
Many electronic devices in the house are now toast!

In this unit the roll is moved by electric motors and pneumatics only
play the notes and tracker system.  It has two small pneumatics that
are tubed to the stack so when it is pressurized these pneumatics turn
on the roll drive motor

The player piano plays fine with pedals and even rerolls fine from
the roll, however, the "play" button will not turn the motor on for
electric play.  If you hold the play button down constantly it will
play the roll but when the button is released, it stops playing.

Is there someone who can repair that circuit board in this piano and
bring it back to factory specs?
