[pianotech] Player Piano Co. RIP

[Rob & Helen Goodale]

I haven't used PPCo consistently in years with rare exception, for example a 
while back I needed an 'A' roll take up spool for a Coinola and it was 
easier to get one from Durrell then make one, but I've found little they 
have that I can't get elsewhere better or for less.  Their Wurly valve 
blocks have been nothing short of grotesque for years and most other items 
can be made.  Without regard they were one of my first introductions to 
parts supplies that got me interested in doing fine pneumatic restoration 
work.  It's a shame the company will be gone and will be missed.  If I were 
to take a wild guess I'd say Schaff would be the likely candidate to buy out 
the remaining inventory.  I still have one of their original catalogues from 
years ago when the company was bigger.
