Piano Roll Repair Table Specifications
By Tom Hutchinson

Hi MMD,  The recent announcement on MMD of roll repair table
availability has resulted in several inquiries requesting photos
and information.

The overall dimensions of the table are 25 x 17 x 4 inches.  The
tables are made of galvanized sheet metal and machined aluminum.
Visualize the repair table as a roll spool box laying on its
side.  In use, the feed spool is on the right and the take-up spool
is on the left.  Simply insert the roll to be repaired, and with
the cranks feed the paper across the surface of the table.

These tables will accommodate 58-, 65- and 88-note rolls.  They will
not handle the larger 10-tune nickelodeon rolls or Wurlitzer style
rolls.

For shipping, the cranks have been reversed with handles turned to the
inside.  Included is an Allen wrench and a detailed set of instructions
plus photos.  Also included is a copy of the article, "Piano Roll
Repair", by Tom Hutchinson, as published in the Sept/Oct 2009 AMICA
Bulletin.

Hopefully I have addressed all of the questions that have been sent
by fellow MMDers.  If you need further info ask and I will try to
incorporate it into revised versions.

I want to thank Robbie and Jody for their help in the piano roll repair
table endeavor.
