Thanks for viewing, V-Man! It's nice to share this old instrument on YT. I'm very happy with how the restoration has held up over the years...Along with the original components. As you can see in the vid, I didn't re-cover the pneumatics on the auto-tracker, electing to just clean and re-tube it. It was still holding vacuum, and I knew I could re-cover it without dismantling the player action, so I left it. Now, 99 years after Lauter constructed it, that old fabric is still holding!
Very nice, much better than my Lauter
