I've been visited by yet another Estey piano with a Welte-Mignon player in
it. This is a model WM-1 player, that is an early hybrid type. The spool
box motor is electric, the valves are plastic valve blocks located above
the keys and the pneumatics activate the hammers by sharing the underside
of the whippens with the usual key capstans. I need the diagram for the
auto-tracker, auto shut off, auto re-roll, pneumatic cancel, auto repeat
assembly located to the right of the spool box. I've dismantled one of
these before and couldn't get things to work right. This time I'd like to
go equipped with the diagram.
If any of you know of such a diagram or could spread the word for me to
other techs, I'd appreciate any help.
