Estey Player

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.
