  The problem  is not the motor.  I suspect you mean the roll drive =
motor.  There is also a suction pump motor, which usually needs to be =
taken out and have the armature cleaned.   Grainger will have a =
replacement if it really is toast. =20

  The roll drive motor is connected to a gear box.  The gears are the =
problem.  They are all gunked up with dried grease.  If you try to play =
the piano you will strip out the gears and they are hard find =
replacements for.  Remove the motor and gear box.  Open it up and clean =
everything in kerosene or other carburetor cleaner.  Be careful to not =
damage the plastic or fiber gears.  Some will melt in really strong =
chemicals.  It is also possible there is already stripped gears.  You =
will have to go to MMD for info on replacements.

    Today I came upon a Kimball Spinet with the Electramatic player =
system.

    The piano is SN:  S32070   (can anyone help with the age?  Pierce =
wasn't clear to me).

    The player mechanism isn't working.  I believe it to be a model E or =
F.  I've never worked on any type of player before, but on this one, I =
believe the only problem is the motor.  Anyone have one laying around?  =
If not, can someone point me in the right direction to find out?  Any =
help is appreciated.
