Mechanical Music Manufacturing Co. of Wichita

I was an employee of Mechanical Music Manufacturing Co. until it went
out of business.  I purchased the assets of the company and continued
to produce the roll frames ever since.  I did not advertise, taking
orders only from established customers and people who heard about me
from others.  Now, at the age of 68, I am slowing down and trying to
get rid of 40 years worth of parts and supplies.

The product design was continuously upgraded and shock hazard issues
resolved.  The price for a style O, A, or G roll frame is $750.00 with
a deposit of 50% at time of order.  Surprisingly, there are very many
of the old Cooper roll frames surviving, with the original rubber belt
drive.
