Power to shift the transmission from Play to Rewind. And theĮnd result is that the Re-Roll bellow doesn't have sufficient Valve that senses the Re-roll perforation (at the end of the roll)ĭoesn't react properly. Most often occurs when the Volume setting (in the spoolbox) is Most common problem is insufficient vacuum. The intermittent Re-Roll problem can only be a few things. The take-up spool lifts the lever out of the groove on the spool. Valve should close the trigger hole as soon as the music roll paper on Of the linkage is placed behind the metal flap valve (where it belongs), Linkage that contacts the metal flap valve, and once the activating arm Fortunately, there is a lock screw on the part of the To its correct position while installing the take-up spool and disturb Often, people will force the lever to go back Location and the take-up spool is put back in the piano, the Cut-Outĭevice will not work.
So, even if the lever is returned to its correct The metal (or wooden) flap valve which opens and closes the trigger hole that leads The Take-Up spool from the piano, this allows the lever to drop below Linkage to turn the Cut-Out device 'on' and 'off'. There are other Aeolian players that used a simple lever and associated That way, the slider will be fully covering the hole when the unit is in the Play mode. Using the two leather nuts that hold the slider to the linkage, adjust the position of the slider such that it fully 'uncovers' the hole when the unit is in Re-Roll. It could also be that the slider itself isn't correctly positioned over the hole when the unit is in the Play mode. Words, the nipple isn't flush with the wood.)

You can stick a screwdriver blade between the leather and the sliding block to stretch the leather slightly. And, since the sliding valve is connected to the Play/Re-Roll linkage, the position of the Play/Re-Roll lever has an effect on the position of the sliding valve relative to the hole leading to the Cut-Out valve. That situation would accountįor the reduced volume of the music. This allows theĬut-out device to be 1/2 'on', 1/2 'off', which chokes the vacuum going to the stack. If that's the case, it (the leather) isn'tĬovering the hole (cut-out signal tube) 100%. The problem with the slider could be two-fold. Is located between the exhauster assembly and the stack.

NOTE: Aeolian employed two different methods of turning the Cut-Out device 'On' and 'Off' during the years that they made the modern Aeolian line of player pianos. Like maybe the Musette or the Duo/Art model. I'll bet that the player piano was made by Aeolian. With the leather nuts, so I could push to left without it stopping.
