I recommend using a motor speed control (readily available online and we will be offering one shortly as well) as this box produces quite a lot of suction. Running the motor only at the necessary level also reduces related motor noise. Speaking of motor noise, this box is designed internally to limit transmission of vibrations from the motor to the box and it is felted on the bottom to help prevent noise transmission from the box to the piano.
In the next few weeks we will be rolling out additional components, watch my eBay store.
I've done player restorations for 30+ years and am glad to answer questions about this product before or after the sale. My contact info is included with every item and you can also reach me through eBay.  Installation of a suction box is usually not a difficult task but it can be helpful if you have someone to call during the process - it's part of what you get when you purchase one of my products.
