Dear Steve, Greetings from The Bronx. Sorry I don't have any pictures
or tubing diagrams, but attached is a link for a YouTube video featuring
a Wurlitzer Photoplayer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-Gk6b5sj0k
Albeit, it is a short video, but it demonstrates what can be done with
time and patience.
This particular instrument is a model YU, which was equipped with
two spool frames, one for 88-note rolls and the other for Wurlitzer
Concert PianOrchestra rolls (hence the automatic register changes and
percussion effects). This instrument is presently in a museum in
Europe. I hope this helps a little,
Sincerely,
D. F. Rowe
Bronx, New York
