<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't have many old player systems, =
I'll stick
with installing the new electronic models.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a 1924 Weber grand. It has =
a restored
player(top mounted). All hoses and sundries are soft and =
pliable(almost
new). There is a flap above the keys that expose the roll part =
thingee,
and another flap that exposes the bellows cranks and hoses. The =
hoses run
to brass fittings between the keys. These are really long keys =
too, about
2 feet. I don't know where the brass fittings go either. The =
customer wants me to repair a few ivories (spent the day today =
bleaching).
I can do a much better job with the keys out of the piano. I can't =
even
figure out the fallboard on this dinosaur. I am afraid I will get =
in over
my head removing all the player parts (hoses, roll housing, tempo =
levers,
etc...).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have enough experience to do most any =
in home
service, but I'm just worried on this instance. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Do the hoses that attach to the brass =
fittings
running between and under the keys attach in a specific order, or do =
they just
evenly distribute the air flow? Are these brass fittings attached to the =
keyframe? Does this thing even have a conventional keyframe? =
I just
didn't dig into it enough to figrue out all the right questions to
ask.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How easy are those tempo levers, =
chains, &
bellows to put back in.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How easy are these critters to put back =
together in
general?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does anyone out there have a step by =
step method of
doing this?</FONT></DIV>
