This has got to be about the silliest statement, in an ad for
a non-working player, that I've ever seen, right here:

  "The player piano diaphragm is shot and will require repair
  and service in order to work."

There are player pianos that need a lot more work than "repairing
the diaphragm" or whatever.  Here's the ad listing the player piano
in question:

It's a shame that today's generation cares little to nothing about
player pianos, but it's not surprising to me, since the only thing
I ever see on our local Craigslist are ads upon ads for electric
guitars and drum sets!  You're lucky if you stumble across a player
piano in good condition.  Here's one right here, a working Kimball
player piano:
