Marshall; Being a player specialist, I can't tell you whether you should hire out the Duo-Art or not. The wind motor doesn't usually flip forward on the newer (1970's or so) models. If it is a more modern player piano, as the description sounds, you should be able to get the wind motor out but you've got other obstacles to get around. In most older players from the 1920's era, the player unit comes out in one piece, in a couple of minutes. Not so with the modern smaller ones; you can't really get the player upper unit above the keys out. You can only get it as far up and forward as the tubing will allow. You mentioned you were in Philly. I used to buy old players by the dozens at Cunningham's. Why not try them to see if they have a player guy there? You can ask for a percentage for the referral or whatever other techs at this site might suggest.
