Click for Full Sized Picture.... Here for the Text

    First take out the front top frame and remove the music shelf and fallboard in the usual manner. This will expose the entire top action. Remove screw. No. I, from the brace over the left-hand side of the spool box.

    Disconnect the motor tubing, No. 2, at point where it connects with the motor, by purling it off the nipple.

    Disconnect tubing, No. 3, at point where it connects with the automatic shifter (left-hand side) in the same manner.

    Remove the small leather nut, No. 4, on the re-roll wire at the right-hand side of the action, also the small nut. No. 5, which will disconnect the indicator wire.

    Remove large screw, No. 6, at right-hand side of the player action and the screw, No. 7, at the left-hand side of the player action, likewise the large, ovalhead screws; Nos. 8, 9, 10 and 11, in the pouchboard at the left-hand side.

    After these directions have been complied with, take hold of the action in the most convenient way, slide it toward you a few inches, and then tilt it slightly forward. It can then be lifted out very easily.

Since "Player-Care" is an internet business, I prefer that we correspond via E-Mail (click here to fill out the 'Request Form'). However, if I'm not in the middle of some other activity, you can reach me at 732-840-8787. But please understand that during the hours from 8AM-5PM EST (Mon-Sat), I'm generally quite busy. So, I probably won't answer the phone. If you get the answering machine, please leave a detailed message stating the reason for your call. Also, repeat your name and phone number clearly and distinctly. By necessity, I prioritize everything in my life. And, if you call and just leave your name and number, and ask me to call you back, it might be a day or two before I return your call. Why? Because I don't know why you want me to call and I might not be prepared to assist you in an effective and efficient manner. If you leave me an E-Mail address (which I prefer), spell it out phonetically. The more you do to help me, the more I can help you in return. Don't rush. You have four minutes to record your message.
