Hi, all!  I have really been enjoying the opinions and masterful
information from all of you.  I am daily reminded of how uninformed
I am.

First of all, I noticed a comment on Deagan Unifons (?) and I thought
someone might be able to help me.

I have a Deagan Celesta-Chime.  It is a roll playing, amplified chime
unit meant for church towers or university campus bell towers.  It has
25 small resonator bars that are struck and dampened with solenoids.
The sound is amplified and sent to eight double drivers (16).  There
is one in operation at Louisiana State University that can be heard
for miles.

There is also an automatic clock unit that strikes Westminster and the
Angelus at appropriate times.  Originally there was a keyboard so the
unit could be played like a carillon.  I have 15 rolls with it now and
have it hooked up to a household amp with a small outdoor horn PA.
The roll unit plays beautifully, and is read like a Violano with wire
brushes.  The rolls I have are meant for holidays like the Fourth of
July, Easter, Christmas, light classics, etc.

My problem is that someone in the past had cut the cable going to the
clock unit, and the Deagan schematic I have is for a much smaller unit.
Would anyone have an electrical diagram for the Westminster and Angelus
unit?

I have some schematics that I will copy free for anyone interested.
Also I have info on the Deagan Carillon Association, who are afician-
ados of the _very_ large Deagan Tubular Bell Carillons meant for Church
towers, etc.  I don't know if they still exist.

Secondly, I would be interested in any information on a barrel organ.
I have a Chamber Barrel Organ by Rolin-Thomassin.  In Mr. Ord-Hume's
'Barrel Organ' he mentions a Rolin Chomassin, but this is an error based
on the labels still extant on my cylinders.  The labels read:

  J. B. Rolin-Thomassin, Facteur d'orgues pour eglises et salons,
  et Serinette, a Mirecourt, department des Vosges.  Il expedie por
  tous pays, toutes sortes d'instrumens.

The organ is in a rosewood case.  It has 26 keys playing on five stops
and 130 pipes, wood and metal flues.  There are eleven (!) cylinders,
28.5 inches long by 5 3/8" in diam.  The cylinders are stored in wood
boxes with the numbers stenciled on them.  Some of them are pinned
spirally to play an overture, others are pinned to play 10 tunes,
mostly "contredanses".  I date the organ to around the 1830's or 40's
due to the tune Robert le Diable, popular at that time.  (Actually an
Opera).

Does anyone know anything about the manufacturer?  The tuning?  Etc.?
Anything would be nice.  The pipes are tuned by the ears, but much
damage was done to the feet by the previous owner.

Thanks in advance for any input or correspondence!!
