Hmm, tube 3?  I'm using the scale from an old PPCo catalog that
shows tube 8 as the sustain hole and 3 as tympani.  Is it wrong?

 [ The counting scheme must be defined.  The scale template shown at
 [ http://mmd.foxtail.com/Tech/Scales/Coinola-O.html assumes 100 holes,
 [ numbered as 0 through 99.  This is the reference scheme used in
 [ Ampico and Welte service literature.  -- Robbie
