Hi Will, A couple of years ago, Mike Reiter, RPT and I rebuilt one of these. We did a lot of trial-and-error exploring to find how it originally was expected to function, and in the end, it played very well, with very good repetition. Mike will remember things that will be helpful in regulating. I have trouble remembering things that aren't right in front of me. Mike's e-mail is mdreiter440 at comcast.net. The thing I do remember is the multitude of hours we spent figuring it out.

He loves to tinker with the action and would be interested in corresponding with someone who has worked on/rebuilt one or more of these gems. If you have some experience to share and don't mind sharing your e- mail address, let me know and I'll forward the addresses to him. Thanks will wickham (presently in hiding from Christmas-tuning mania) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
