Seek Medley Rolls for Play-Rite
By Matthew Caulfield

The latest issue of the AMICA Bulletin carries a note from Bill Flynt asking people who have original or Play-Rite recut rolls (large size and medleys), especially Ray Siou's medley rolls issued in the '80s, which they would be willing to loan back to Play-Rite to contact Bill by phone at 972-644-2493. Bill is acting as a clearing house in the effort to rebuild Play-Rite's stock of roll masters lost in the recent fire, since Play-Rite's office phones are not yet working.

Bill mentions that the only piece of irreplaceable mechanical equipment which Play-Rite lost was the machine used to print words on the rolls. New technology will be needed for that, according to John Malone, Play-Rite's owner. Bill Flynt wants to hear from anyone with expertise in modern printing methods that might be adaptable to printing word rolls.
