Amphion Automatic Tracker System
By John Phillips

Hello MMD.  I visited friends in Brisbane this last weekend.  They have
a foot-pumped Lafarge Recordo upright, with an Amphion player action.
The automatic tracker is misbehaving and I suspect a blocked bleed hole.

Unlike the automatic tracker on an Aeolian action, there don't seem to
be easily removable rubber cloth circles on the front of the double
pneumatic, or on the rear side, which give immediate access to the
bleed holes.  Does anyone know if it is possible to get at the Amphion
tracker bleed holes, supposing them to exist, without removing the
pneumatic cloth?
