Wurlitzer Automatic Roll Changer
By Ray Finch

There is a Wurlitzer Model I Nickelodeon on eBay that has an automatic
roll changer which holds 5 rolls at a time.

[Mentions of eBay items are at the bottom of the email MMDigest, e.g.

Does it actually thread the roll on to the takeup spool and in the
process unthread and roll up the previous roll all auto-magically,
or is this just a way to basically store 5 rolls in the piano and each
one would have to be set up by hand?

Just wondering...
