Automatic Shutoff On/Off Spoolbox Slap Switch - Player Piano Suction/Vacuum Box

Description

On/Off switch for electric vacuum motor equipped upright player pianos. Rated 15 amps @ 120 volts (most vacuum motors are under 10 amps, ours are under 8 amps but check yours to be sure). Mounts in spoolbox. "Flapping" action of roll after rewinding contacts lever and opens a switch, turning off power to the motor. 8 feet of cord, hardware, Instructions and very helpful locating/drilling template included.
New design provides sensitivity adjustment via regulating screw on top. Screw in to make it easier for the roll to trip the switch, out to make it harder.  Switch can be easily disassembled for servicing and replacement of parts.  The actuator (visible part in the spoolbox) is brass - previous versions over the years have used either a painted or stainless steel actuator but with the majority of player pianos having brass hardware in the spoolbox we decided to use brass to better match spoolbox hardware.  Previous versions also required pushing the actuator behind the roll if you wanted to shut it off manually during play... our version has the button secured to the actuator so a gentle pull on the on/off button will trip the actuator and shut off the player.
As always, please contact me if you have any questions pertaining to this product before or after the sale. My contact info will be in the shipped package or you can contact me through eBay. I've been a player piano technician over 30 years and have used and still use these products and am glad to help.
