Making Coinola Xylophone Repeating Pneumatics
By Don Teach

I am always looking for original Coinola parts.  I needed some of the
xylophone or bell repeating pneumatics as the set I have is damaged.
I have a cabinet shop making a run of the rounded backs for Coinolas.

I do not know the cost but if anyone wants some this might be a good
time to speak up.  I am hoping for a price of around two dollars per
rounded back.

Making the metal back should be an easy job for a sheet metal shop.
I use a shear and leaf brake to make them.  They slide on the back
slightly longer than needed so the ends can be crimped down and then
trimmed to size.
