Seek Player Action for Upright Aeolian Themodist
By Doug Anderson

A friend of mine has recently retrieved the piano of her childhood,
a 1919 Aeolian Pianola Metro Style Themodist.  The caretakers of this
beautiful instrument decided at some point to allow the tuner to
remove all traces of the player mechanism from the piano.

Is there anyone out there who can offer any hope of putting the player
mechanism back in?  Would this be a candidate for some of the newer
technology that is out there?  The piano still has wonderful tone.
Please write with your thoughts.

Thanks
Doug Anderson
