For my own personal benefit, I am putting together a census of all the
photoplayers (made by Seeburg, the American Photoplayer Company, etc.)
that still exist.  Here is what I've come up with so far:

 1. Fotoplayer, style 25 (formerly owned by Harvey Roehl)
 2. Wurlitzer, style O, formerly in the Gay 90's Village
    (current location?)
 3. Wurlitzer, style K, Jasper Sanfilippo collection
 4. Fotoplayer, style 20, owned by Joe Rinaudo
 5. Wurlitzer, style G, from Carrousel Music recording
 6. Wurlitzer, style U, Carrousel Music recording
 7. Fotoplayer, style 20, Powerhouse Museum in Sydney, Australia
 8. Fotoplayer, style ?, in Music Boxes to Street Organs Museum,
    Utrecht, Netherlands
 9. Seeburg, style R(?), Bayernhof Museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
10. Cremona, style ?, Bovey collection, Virginia City, Montana

(Note: instruments such as Reproducos, Nelson-Wiggen Selector Duplex
Organs, Seeburg Mortuary Organs, and the like are not being covered
in this survey.)

What other photoplayers are still in existence?  It's a shame that
so many were junked, as they represent a unique aspect of the field
of mechanical music.
