Seek Solenoids for Electric Player
By Bob Loesch

Hello MMD!  I am seeking a set of solenoids, such as those used in
PianoDisc-type pianos, to assist a friend who is trying to make an
animatronic grand piano, for display purposes.  I do not need the
system that runs the solenoids, nor do I need any electronics for
a player, just the magnets themselves and any mechanical linkage,
if available.  They will not have to activate a piano action, just
move the keys in a pseudo-realistic manner.

Anyone who has a "dead" solenoid player, contact me via email and
we'll talk!  I know there is at least one person out there that
works on these pianos, so I'm hoping to connect with them!

Thanks!
