@cbkidder well i never got that 1880's player but i did get a 1908 ebersole with a standard player action i already recoverd the bellows just need to recover all the little pneumatics and replace some of the valves and all of the tubing but it functions well as is. Im currently working on a 1920's Cable Company silent player im in the process of shimming the sound board and looking forward to restringing the piano
@BBgunmaster67 I found everything to repair my 1890s player quite easily. After replacing all the tubing, it worked quite well. Will need to have new fabric on the larger pneumatics and bellows soon though. Not looking forward to doing that. I run it every couple weeks to keep everything nimble.
