This is the old accordion I've just bought to use to pull apart and attempt repairs; a Delicia Choral IV. It needs lots of work so should give me plenty to practice with. So far I've found rubber reed valves, a couple of broken reeds, 2 reed plates which don't fit their holes in the reed block so the gap had been filled up with silicone sealant, perished felt under the bass reed blocks, 1 black key and 1 white key that fall off the keyboard, dodgy grill cloth replacement after the original mute slider (or whatever it was) had been removed, and 1 bass coupler slide that doesn't open & close completely.
So that's my lockdown weekends taken care of for a while!
Be prepared for lots & lots of questions!
