The easy answer is... for me, very rarely. Some oddball actions, weird parts. Rarely is there the need for saving salvaged player actions as entire units. Possibly someone along the line will need some parts, an entire action, whatever, and I have provided those things in the past. One 1500 mile move convinced me to be selective and a shop reorganization convinced me that parts in boxes are far more efficient that piles of beat up units!

I don't service pneumatic players any more than I service organs, kalliopis, refrigerators or BMW's. But, what to do when I get a Big Old Upright with a non-functioning pneumatic player system? Is there any desire out there for salvage parts amongst you player techs? All to frequently I run into one of these things, and effectively the player system is nothing more than in the way of servicing the instrument (I know, probably the whole thing needs to be dismantled, but......) If the client has no interest in the system ever working, does anyone have a desire for salvage parts? Is that desire great enough to pay for shipping or make a road trip to collect some? Just trying to do the right thing for those interested in pneumatics. William R. Monroe -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
