Thump asks:

Player Piano Valves and Gaskets????? Yea, go ahead and
use it!  The repair work helps to keeps me in
business!!! 

After all, I HAVE replaced Oil cloth that jerks used
to recover pumps and reservoirs, valves made from
inner tube punchings (That's what they use to put into
all tires to hold the air in the tire), Silicon
Caulking applied to ALL of the joints in place of
gaskets, and more....much more.

Please folks, if you work on a player, use material as
close to the original as possible.  They worked, they
lasted, and the same applies today! 

I have personally played a Gulbransen that was made in
1922 in 1994. That's 72 YEARS! I know, that does not
apply to most players, but conditions must have been
just right on that piano.
