Thomas Organ Player by Automatic Music Corp.
By mdt1955@

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

Hi, I was wondering if you could please help me?  I bought an automatic
player assembly from a Thomas organ.  The player is made by Automatic
Music Corp. in Arlington Heights, Illinois.  It is a model 267.

It was wired to all 44 notes on the solo manual of the Thomas organ.
I would like to use it on a newer Gulbransen President organ that has
diode keying.  I don't know where to end the solo notes and start the
accompaniment notes.  Also, with the lowest 12 notes on the accompaniment
manual, will several notes play at the same time for a chord?

Where I could buy the material to repair the inside plastic valves on
the organ player?  Is it possible to buy new valves?

Thank you so much for your help.
Matthew

 [ MMDigest articles indicate that the player system manufactured
 [ by Automatic Music Corp. for Kimball Piano & Organ Co. was
 [ variously called "Magic Organ Player", "Organ-Matic Player Unit"
 [ and "Magic Organ -- Organmatic".  Kimball also supplied the system
 [ to Wurlitzer.  Player organs made by Kimball and Thomas are in the
 [ list at http://www.lizardweb.com/organ/E-organ_list_v.4_(DB)1.pdf
