    Description

    90 new reproduction Simplex valves, used in Simplex unit valve player mechanisms (one way to determine you have a Simplex is by the trapezoidal shaped holes in the tracker bar and the valve and associated striker pneumatic are in one unit, with one "unit pneumatic" per note instead of the pneumatics being mounted on 2 or more deck boards).
    3/4" diameter, genuine leather facings, pneumatic cloth punching under the lower facing, valve guide/collar like the original (but acrylic instead of aluminum). Top of valve to bottom of stem is about 7/16" which is about 1/64" longer than most original stems I see (which themselves vary).  This is to allow for fitting the stem length to match what is needed for pouch to stem clearance.
    You'll find many other piano and player piano related parts in my eBay store, including suction boxes & controls, gaskets for Simplex and other players, and much more.
    I'm Howard Gustafson and I've been a player piano technician since 1985.  I've serviced and rebuilt many different player pianos during that time (including Simplex).  I'm glad to answer questions about this item (or any other item we sell or you think we should sell) before or after your purchase.  My contact information is included with each shipment and you can also reach me through eBay.  Your success with my products is very important to me, please don't hesitate to contact me with questions or suggestions.
