In view of the many recent requests for band organ parts, I recommend
anyone interested to contact Gordon Forcier. (I've lost his address,
sorry.) He bought out George Cooper, Mechanical Music Mfg., who made
absolutely the best roll frames available with extra holes for adding
all kinds of goodies. Gordy built a lovely band organ himself from
my book years ago, and is extremely knowledgeable about them.
During my building career, I made twelve band organs -- 125, 150 and
165 -- and used George's MMM frames and other parts, and if Gordon is
keeping George's technology you'll not go wrong.
Good luck,
Vic Searle in Tokyo
