I spoke with Bob Farrell this morning, and he told me that all the coin
pianos were acquired and modified by a small private businessman who
found old players and rebuilt them for Mr. Farrell.  This individual is
no longer in business.  The pianos were definitely not manufactured by
a large "brand name" firm.

Mr. Farrell started out with one small parlor in Portland, Oregon, and
I have been there many times.  I believe it is still in operation under
different ownership, but I haven't been there for several years.

After expanding to the Marriott, Mr. Farrell started Newport Bay
restaurants here in Portland, OR.  I believe that he has sold most of
his interests in these, but still has some connections and a office at
Newport Bay corporate offices.  A Newport Bay manager told me he
travels a great deal and conducts "motivational workshops."  He is
quite a speaker, I am told.

Musically,
