Seek Ampico Grand Lost Motion Pneumatics
By John Kiszla
I am about to embark on the restoration of a late 1928 Chickering
5'8" Ampico grand. As I have been studying and preparing for this
undertaking, I have noticed that the stack is missing its lost
motion pneumatics.
It looks like the stack was rebuilt once before and whoever did
the job removed these pneumatics, covering the open spaces with
motor cloth. They also eliminated the secondary valve blocks for
these pneumatics (I already have extras). Everything else on the
stack seems to be intact.
If anyone has a set of these pneumatics and corresponding parts
(i.e. rods, fingers, etc.) in their extra parts, I would be very
grateful. While making a new set from scratch would not be too
difficult it would be easier to have something to start with.
Thank you,
John Kiszla
