Seek Pictures of North Tonawanda Drum Beaters
By Bill Guimes

I bought that North Tonawanda Style 159 band organ offered by
CoinOpWarehouse last year.  It was reconditioned using player piano
parts for the beaters.  The snare drum beater is a Link unit, the bass
drum beater is a player piano unit, and the cymbal beater might be an
original North Tonawanda unit.  Does anyone have plans, drawings, or
pictures of original North Tonawanda beaters?

Also, we found the number 1991 (or it could be 1997) written on the
valve chest cover and inside the snare drum valve.  As this instrument
was built in 1913, would these be the instrument's serial number?
I would appreciate any comments or suggestions.

Regards,
Bill Guimes
