    Is this a paper roll player ? There used to be an expert in North Carolina that did this type work but he passed. There also was an advertisement in the PTG Journal by a technician in New York who you shipped the action to. Many of the mechanical, paper roll actions for players where retrofitted. There is a member in our PTG Chapter who may know someone out there . If it is an electronic player like QRS, Piano Disc, Disklavier try contacting those companies directly

    My bad for failing to specify what kind of player technology we are talking about, James. Thanks for pointing that out.

    The system in question is indeed paper/ pneumatic.
