[ Ref. Brian Grado in 190729 MMDigest --
Looks similar to work done by "Pumps and Pedals" out of Elmhurst,
Illinois. Usually there is a sticker inside with this name. Most
of the components were from Player Piano Co. I have most of the
same components like this piano has that came out of a newer Aeolian
conversion that was done by Pumps and Pedals. The piano was neglected
and was not worth restoring so I salvaged the components.
I live on the lower west side of Michigan and have seen a couple of
the newer Aeolian conversions done by Pumps and Pedals.
