Seek Parts for O-roll Orchestrion
By Mark Greisen

Recently I was retained to rehabilitate an "O" roll playing orchestrion
that had been in a shop 14 years, during which time some of the parts
have gone missing.  Although the spool frame and transmission are still
there the take-up spool is missing as is the rod and flanges which hold
the roll.

Also, the owner had purchased a new motor that would provide vacuum as
well as pressure for the one rank of organ pipes, but that is nowhere to
be found.  If anyone out there knows who sells these motor units please
contact me.  I can send you pictures or provide more specifications as
needed.
