Seek Ampico Upright Tracking Linkage
By Jamie Brewer

My 1919 Franklin Ampico has been missing the "roll adjusting rod"
since I bought it in 1975.  This is the basic Amphion upper guts
that Ampico used in their uprights.

This piano has been rigged to shift the tracking bar from the roll
adjusting pneumatic instead of shifting the piano roll.  After having
the piano restored, I'd like to finally put the roll adjusting assembly
back to how it originally was.  There are screw holes where there were
braces screwed in to guide the rod on top of the spool box.

I'm hoping there might be a replacement kicking around at a reasonable
price to save me the aggravation of making one up from scratch.  Thanks
in advance.
