Due to a back injury, I have been introduced to the ingenuity,
engineering, and craftsmanship embodied in instruments like the Seeburg
H.  It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling to touch and work on those old
mechanical marvels.  Thankfully there is a group like this to fall back
on, when stymied.  Hopefully you will all humor me.

Some of you may have had the honor of dealing with Junior Marsh of
Marsh's Free Museum in Long Beach, Wash.  Mr. Marsh has put together a
fair selection of mechanical music marvels and penny arcade machines.

I am seeking the two rewind gears and the drive gear for the museum's
Seeburg H.  Was there ever a technical/maintenance/operational/owners
manual for the Seeburg?  We do have a Christmas roll for the H which
could be made available for copying, and also the original Seeburg H
test roll.

Has anyone ever hear of an Edison Juke Box that plays your choice of
twenty-five different record cylinders?  That is just one of many
marvels in the back room needing my attention.  It is nice to be
needed.

Honor and respect all that has gone before you, and nurture and teach
all whom you leave behind.  Don't become a dying breed; your knowledge
can live forever.  But excuse me; I went a little off key here.
