Do not give up on looking for Wisteria rolls -- persistence pays off!
Several years Mary Jo and I were trying to make a Peerless Elite coin
piano as original as possible. We obtained the piano with an "A" roll
frame.
Finding an Elite roll frame seemed like finding a needle in a haystack
but we advertised for one and, low and behold, Art Reblitz came up with
a lead for us that resulted in us completing the restoration of our
Peerless Elite. We eventually had 11 Peerless Elite rolls for the
machine and two of the rolls were absolutely stunning, knocking the
socks off any "A" roll! So, keep up the search.
