Dear folks,  A few issues ago, several people remarked that they
had Aeolian Orchestrelle tracker bars that were damaged or missing.
Don Scheetz will custom make tracker bars for almost anything as long
as he has specification or a sample, or has made that one before.

I mentioned the Orchestrelle tracker bars and that they were made of
wood.  He said he would be willing to make them in either wood or brass
as long as he had something to work with.  I offered my tracker bar
which is in good condition, but it will be awhile before it will be
out of the machine.

Meanwhile, anyone interested and who has a sample can contact Don
on-line or by mail or phone at

Don is treasurer and registrar for the East Coast Chapter, MBSI, and
was the one who designed, built tooling and supervised the assembly
of the musical bird cage table favor at the MBSI Convention in
Philadelphia.  Needless to say, Don is a _very_ clever fellow.
