Well, there is a white plastic bushing around the pin, it has a slit
going thru the diameter of it so that it looks to be in two halfs.

Hello Marshall,
Let not --- your heart be troubled,
Speaking as one who has installed at least half a dozen
electronic players in these little pianos THAT WORK WELL
and further more CONTINUES TO DO SO.
We started installing the old "Superscope" in the Acrosonics
in the 70,s then went to the "Pianodisc".
We placed the poppet head directly under the action whippen.
works like a dream, easy to install, and service.
Marshall ! You can take this to the Bank

Hi Everyone,
I received a call today from a guy who owns an Acrosonic. He wants the
piano which hasn't been tuned in a very long time brought to playing
condition which I can do of course. Here's the question I have. He wants a disc
player installed so that if they have guests for dinner he can have the
piano playing in the background. So my question is, can a disc. system be
installed into an Accrosonic, or would the drop action be in the way? Is it
worth it to install one in a piano like this? What should I tell him? thanks
Marshall
ps. if it is a go, then I'll need to find someone to install one. How much
does that typically run? Thanks

Ucci,
Try putting the entire assembly on the BENCH and then take a picture of the
entire assembly from about 2'-3' away! These out of focus 'close ups'
really are not telling us anything useful. Either that, or contact Samick
and let them figger it out.<G>

Joe

Yep. that we could see. From the top view shot, it looks like you can
punch or press the pin out from the side.

If it's an iPhone 3GS or later, you can just tap on the screen in the area you want it to focus before taking the photo. It'll draw a square momentarily in the area it will focus on. It'll focus as close as 12-18 inches this way.

You can probably use this system (the one with the pedal is my modified C clamp. the other is from a supply house) use another pin to start pushing the original out, Hope this helps.
