In reply to the recent inquiry. There was a good deal of discussion in
the past months about monkey organ plans available from John Smith in
England.  Melvyn Wright and I are currently negotiating with John to
market the plans on both sides of the water as John isn't really
interested.

The plans are currently being updated to incorporate "lessons learned" by
the first few builders. The video tape that accompanies them is also
being updated. My hope is to offer them in the U.S. at the same price as
available in England with possibly a small premium to recover the cost of
converting the video to U.S. format.

I'm told that there has been consistently good feedback from those who
have tackled this project.  Anyone who wants more information now, and
would like to be notified when they are available, please drop me a note.
