I was asked to produce reproduction wonder lamps.  After some thought
I agreed to do it.  Actually about five people have been involved in
the project.

The first lamp has just been finished and we are quite pleased.
We have had the spun metal parts tooled and have nine of them left.
We are machining all the other parts and doing the wood work.

Because these are totally custom made we can make some adjustments
in how they look.  They can be motor driven or pulley and belt driven.
The motor driven ones cost about $1850.00.  They can just be set on top
of the orchestrion, shimmed to the proper height for your top gallery
and plugged in.  When a nickel is dropped they light and rotate.

If you want a pulley driven lamp we can supply proper pulleys so it can
drive using leather belts from the right side of the piano.  These will
be more expensive because we have to make all the pulleys and a belt
tensioner.  If you have an interest drop us an e-mail and I'll send you
some pictures so you know what we are doing.
