Unknown Photoplayer for Electric Valve Pipe Chest
By Gregory Filardo
I have a single-manual organ/piano in which all the electro-
magnet switch contacts and switching assembly are crammed into
the lower portion of the upright piano. The player is located
above the key board and the organ stop tabs as well. Apparently
an organ chest was then wired to the piano unit. There is no
manufacturer's name anywhere.
What is it? I have not seen anything like it. I remember in my
conversations with Daniel Barton that he built some of these units
before building all of his theatre organs, but he stated that none
survived and were taken back in on trade and scrapped out.
