Seek Discs for Yale Wonder Clock
By Dave Bowers

Tim Westman just delivered my magnificently restored Yale Wonder Clock.
It looks great, plays great (except see below), and is quite the
attraction.  The mechanisms are remarkably sophisticated.

While in my collection I have Regina 20-3/4" and 27" changers, I have
not a single 15-1/2" box, until now with the Yale Wonder Clock.  I have
on loan from the Westmans a disc.  And, just to think, years ago I had
thousands of such discs!  I would like to buy a few of the original
steel discs, nice condition, with black stencil titles -- of recognizable
tunes.  Any quotes are welcome!

Also, it would be interesting to know how many Yale Wonder Clocks are
now in captivity.

Best wishes,
Dave Bowers
