Seek Tubing Diagram for Ampico "A" Upright
By Ron Evans

Hello, Does anyone know where I can obtain a tubing diagram for
Ampico A upright?  Mr. Reblitz refers to it as "Ampico A tubing
diagram, upper action, 235-c, #c-12."  In case it matters, the piano
is Marshall & Wendell of late 1920's, possibly 1926.

Another smaller issue; my piano is missing Fig. C (switch primary
block) and Fig. H (reroll cutout block) in Illustration 7 of the
Inspector's Reference Book.  Was this common for the piano to be
built with different variations of the complex mechanism for re-roll,
repeat, and electric cut-off, or is this a change that a previous
rebuilder did to it?  The mechanism seems to operate normally as far
as I can tell.  I suppose I have not tried the repeat.

Thanks
Ron Evans
