Seek 8-Track Cassettes to Play AMI Orchestrion
By Fredy Gerer

In my neighborhood is an orchestrion made by AMI (Automatic Musical
Instruments Inc.) located in Clemson, South Carolina.  It consists
of a piano, percussion instruments and a rosewood xylophone.  It
operates with an 8-track cassette player as MIDI player.  No cassettes
can be found.

Does anyone have 8-track cassettes for playing this instrument?
Who knows anything about this company or owns such an instrument?
Thanks in advance for any information.
