Here's some really basic questions for a newcomer to the mechanical music
hobby...  sorry to take up this airtime!

    1. Do service manuals for the Coinola Reproduco exist?  Where can
       they be obtained.

    2. Who is a good source of supply for replacement parts for these
       type of instruments?

    3. What is the name and address of the MBSI equivalent for player
       pianos and orchestrions?

Thanks for the help.
