Seek Support Rods for Aeolian Push-up Player
By Derek Whipp

Hello fellow MMDers!  I've been using four felt-covered foam pads to
buffer a 1906 Aeolian 65-note push-up between and under the ol' family
Steinway K (1907; it's been in the family since 1916) and they've been
working just fine.  I feel so lucky to have this wonderful setup that
it almost feels greedy to ask, but I might as well just in case.

The pushup is missing the two support rods that stick up from under
the stack and stabilize it.  In the off chance that anyone knows of any
I would love to make the instrument complete.  It's also missing its
Metrostyle pointer (I'm pretty sure it has the correct nut and screw to
hold the pointer up), in case anyone would like to sell one of those.
I thought I'd ask; I've really enjoyed all the posts from this group.
