... Standard Double-Valve Action Service Manual: $16.95 (Only available on CD!)

Produced in 1917, this 36-page reference has the finest gray-scale graphics I've ever had the pleasure to view. They are so good that I decided NOT to have the reference printed on paper. Instead, each page was scanned at a resolution of 150 DPI and a variety of electronic files were produced. This reference is ONLY available on a CD that I produced. It contains all of the original scanned files as well as an Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) file and a huge Word Perfect (.wpd) file. The beauty of these program files is that each page can be magnified to over 200% without losing the clarity of the graphics, making it possible to easily see details that are often difficult to see with the naked eye in the original paper manual. Also, through the magic of 'image mapping', you can access super-high resolution images by clicking on any image inside a web page. These images were scanned at 300 DPI, and they are twice as clear as the images in the individual pages. All files can also be accessed individually in 'My Computer'. Or the pages can be viewed as web pages.The CD is designed to automatically open your default web browser when the CD is put into your CD Drive. Lastly, if the web browser is connected to the Internet, you can also access everything at Player-Care from the links on the main default web page. S/H within the US is $6.30. (An excellent companion to this CD is the 'Standard Action Q & A' reference -just below.)

... Universal Service Manual: $21.00

Made during the 1960's and 1970's, the 'Universal', which was made in California, was the first player piano to use synthetic 'Perflex' pouches. Also, it was the first player piano to have an all-aluminum stack with rubber gaskets and neoprene valve facings. Thought not to exist, an original service manual was recently located. To it has been added the electronic schematics discovered by an engineer at Story & Clark, making this the most complete manual available for this player system. Complete with a short Troubleshooting section and Illustrated Parts Breakdown. It does not contain information about the Theory of Operation or Rebuilding. 8-1/2" x 11", 20 pages.
