Hi gang, Well, the roll cutter I referred to was $NZ300, and so I bought
it. At first glance, it doesn't appear to be complete. There's an
engine, a transformer, a power box, three or four large steel plates,
many small parts, some in an envelope labelled 'copper spaces'.
There's three tables. The arm that cut the roll doesn't seem to be with
it. There are two huge rolls of blank paper from Leabarjan, about 400
flanges, the large wood-block stamps for the labels, etc.
There are also instruction books and about 30 leaflets (all the same) for
the Leabarjan hand cutter. I hope they got that too -- at this stage
they don't seem to know.
It's in very bad condition, but I will hope they can find the instruction
book -- then I'll be able to tell you what's there and what's not. I'll
try get some photographs of what is here and email them to MMD.
Regards,
Robert Perry
P.S. The two men who ran the roll company were called F. Sharp and
A. Sharp! I just thought of another distinguishing feature: the machine
has a normal bulb lamp that fits on the front to cast light on the roll.
Any ideas?

[ his catalog of ArtCraft Music Rolls, and has acquired a lot of
[ knowledge about the machines. -- Robbie
