Seek Ampico "B" Pump, Motor & Take-up Spool
By David Oppenheim

A friend in Ohio recently obtained a 1930 5-foot 4-inch Knabe "B"
plain case grand from the original family.  For some reason during the
years, the "B" pump and large AC motor beneath were removed (and lost)
when the piano was moved long ago, to lessen the weight, supposedly.
The piano is totally complete except for these items and the "B"
take-up spool.

He would love to restore the instrument, but cannot pay an exorbitant
price for the missing components.  The take up spool and motor are of
lesser concern at this point.  Thanks.
