FS: Musical Boxes & Player Piano Parts in Wales
By Edward Baylis

Closing down part of my business -- some items free and for sale.

Hello All,  Old age is catching up on me, therefore I have decided
to close the major part of my player piano restoration business.
In the future I propose to carry out minor repairs and player piano
servicing, also music roll sales.

Therefore, I need to find homes for many un-restored upright players,
including Aeolian, Steck, Weber, and many complete upright 88-note
player stacks, including Aeolian 88-note and half Duo-Art, Autopiano,
Higel, Triumph and Standard.

Player Piano Parts For Sale --

* A stack from a Weber 65/88 note Grand.  The case is available but
will need collecting within the next 5 weeks.

* A 65/88 note spool box complete assembly for Aeolian Grand Pianola,
a wonderful piece of engineering.

* Three Aeolian/Orchestrelle 65-note push-up piano players, one
restored in the past by a local Piano Player Society member, now in
need of at least a service.

* A PEDA transposing stack, plus numerous parts from the same Pianola,
including the expression box and accordions, Tempo governor, auto
rewind-repeat and Loud & Soft pneumatics, Modulator, Temponamic lever
