Seek Valve Buttons For Pratt Read Player Action
By Doug Vensel

I need a particular part for a piano I need to do over.  It's
a Pratt Read player action, Model F, Style 52 player.  I need about
20 valve buttons for this action and was wondering if any other
technician out there might be able to help me out.  The buttons are
split and I simply don't trust them anymore.

I sure hope someone can help me out with this unit.  It's in a fine
old upright with marvelous tone and I'd like to rebuild it from top
to bottom.  The pumps are already done and strikers are recovered
now; the motor is next.

Anyway, I know of one or two people who had old junkers of this kind
and model and was hoping to hook up with them to purchase these
buttons.  I can be contacted at either of the email addresses below.

Thank you so much!
