My (our!) good friend Ginny BIllings is working on a new project to
document all of the tune sheets issued by the Tel-Electric Co. She has an
original catalog courtesy of Dick Howe, and has over 100 rolls in her
collection, I believe. Her catalog is probably over several hundred
titles by now; I can get an update if anyone is interested.
Ginny is interested in both the larger and the smaller format rolls, and
is anxious to hear from anyone who may have even _one_ roll so she can
check to see if the tune is documented.
Ginny can be called in Reno, Nevada at 702-853-4659 but if you don't want
to incur the cost of the long-distance phone call, please email me and
I'll be happy to forward the information to Ginny. If you even _know_
someone who has any Tel-Electric rolls or machinery, please let me know
and I'll forward the information to Ginny.
Thanks for helping!
