    Not an armature. It is a valve. It controls the flow of a gas. Opens or closes a channel to the atmosphere.

    Dang. Hundreds of amps at 12v. They either have a copper mine on their hands, or voltage drop must be a bear. ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ

    Imagine … you're playing the largest organ in the world. The light at the console blinks urgently so you stop playing and answer the phone. "I'm just letting you know that your warranty will expire soon…."

    When I was a kid, my dad found an old player piano in a barn. The rubber tubing was mostly rotted, so he rebuilt it with aquarium tubing. The soundboard was cracked and it was hard to stay in tune, but we ultimately had about 100 rolls which we could play.
