Wow. Yes. Oh dear. I hope she doesn't dump it. The trouble is, of
course, that if someone is to commit to possibly hundreds of hours of
restoration, it has to be worth the effort. The rolls are probably
"worth" upwards of about 50p each though, depending on condition. Do
let me know the URL, and I will investigate, and possibly pass it on
to people who might be better able to help.
I would love to have a pianola again myself, though, I even have the
space allocated for it.
