The Photoplayer Restoration Trust (New Zealand) is seeking to find
any Wurlitzer Concert PianOrchestra rolls.  Are their any available
that we can acquire?

We are well on the path to start restoration work and need to
Determine whether to rebuild the Wurlitzer Photoplayer to play the
original Philipps PC roll or to change it to play a Philipps Pianella
Mandoline (PM) roll.  I would say that both types of rolls will be hard
to find, but I have been told that the PM rolls are more available.

At this time, we have located and acquired most of the pipes that
were removed from the cases, as well as the xylophone, glockenspiel
and triangle.  If anyone has percussion or traps from a Wurlitzer
Photoplayer don't hesitate to contact us also.
