Seek 88-note Music Roll Perforator
By Santiago Rico De-Gaspari

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --

I recently inherited a Kästner Steinweg Nacht Autopiano.  It
was restored, since it didn't work, and now it plays wonderfully.
(It also has a Kastonome mechanism inside, but that wasn't restored
since I only have one of those Kastonome rolls).

The Autopiano was built in the USA, in 1913, and has stayed since in
Madrid, Spain, where I live.

I've collected about 250 rolls by now, and now I wish to be able to
reproduce rolls on my own.  To begin with, I need a perforating machine.

¿Is anybody willing to sell me one of such devices?

Advices are very welcome.
