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.
