Connecting Wurlitzer Spinet for Different Rewind

There is a far easier way to deal with this.  Since most of the older
piano rolls do not have any rewind hole at all, here is what I did when
I had a new player, an Aeolian Sting II with the rewind hole on the left.

Gently mark the rewind hole position at the end of the roll.  (I would
wait for all the holes to be touching the wrap on the take-up spool, then
mark.)  Then take your hole punch, gently lift the roll off the tracker
bar, center it over the mark then punch your hole.

I did that to over 700 rolls and it worked like a champ.
