FS: Automatic Musical Co. Music Roll Mechanism
By John Rutoskey
I am replicating the roll mechanism for the early Automatic Musical
Company coin piano. This is the early style keyboard piano mechanism
which slides in under the keyboard on the front, and holds the 5 tune
endless roll. These pianos always seem to turn up with this part
missing. The piano is pictured in Bowers' Encyclopedia in the Link
section, and was sometimes sold as "The Reliable". Automatic Musical
Company was eventually bought out by the founder of the Link Piano
Company.
If anyone needs one of these please contact me as soon as possible for
details. We are assembling the parts within the next two months and
only have one extra left over that could be machined and finished.
In any event, after these are completed there will definitely be no
more made here by us.
