1) Our thanks to all who gave suggestions and ideas about my Ampico
roll-drive motor problem. It now seems to be under control, so soon
we'll be listening to more of that great material under that label!
2) Mike Knudsen recommends a visit to Danny Konvalinka's Music Wonder
House, and we surely second that motion. He has built up a wonderful
display of music boxes of all types, sizes, and shapes that all MMD
maniacs should see.
And while in New England, don't pass up Clark's Trading Post at
North Woodstock, New Hampshire, in the White Mountains. Check their
web site for details, http://www.clarkstradingpost.com/ The only thing
this web site doesn't make clear is that coin-op pianos and band organs
are scattered all around the grounds. It's one of the few remaining
places in the USA where coin-op pianos are 'out there' for the public
to enjoy.
