Why do you need to remove the action to recover an ivory head ? you should be able to glue it in place after scraping off old glue residue make sure there is a white backgound such as a white glue wafer or them keystick is painted with a titanium white oil color. you can use white keytop cement , some painters tape or some weights to keep the keytop from curling You can try Louis Gentile in Boston for player tubing. Schaff supply has some player supplies

Subject: M&H Ampico player
I have a new client that has a 1928 M&H A with an Ampico player system. The 3 vacuum hoses are shot. Is there a supply source for these? I also need to remove the action to recover one ivory head and I'm always hesitant to remove player actions without knowing my risks. Any advice from the more experienced members?
