Rolls, Parts & Plans for John Smith Busker Organ
By Bob Essex

I have learned that a new source of 20-note organ rolls and
manufactured parts for John Smith organs has opened today.

Peter Hood of Ramsgate, Kent, England is offering a catalogue of songs
at very competitive prices.  The rolls are immaculately produced on
plastic paper by computer punch.  I visited Peter recently and was
highly impressed with his punching operation and his engineering skill;
he is a perfectionist to say the least!

I understand that Peter will now also be handling orders for John
Smith's organ plans and also manufacturing and supplying various parts
for the organs such as crankshafts, etc.   This will replace the
web site previously run by Chris Doe.

If you would like more details, Peter can be contacted on his website
http://www.rollcutter.com/

With the large number of John Smith organs which exist worldwide,
I am sure this has to be of interest to many MMDers.

Kind regards
Bob Essex
Warwickshire, England
