Filling Screw Holes in Wood

Hi Don,  Thanks, good point; I hadn't thought of that.  Fortunately,
these aren't, but it's a nightmare scenario and I will very carefully
check over any other instrument I bring into the house!

Looking at the problem in my Orchestrelle again, I've just realised
it's possible somebody moved the roll motor and Tempo governor
arrangement and turned it around.  A very odd thing to do, maybe my
motor is not original.  I should have realised earlier -- it helps
make the case for correctly aligned plugs, in case I ever need to
put it back.  Anyway, it all seems to fit as-is so I will try it the
"as supplied" way around first.

Thanks again,

Lester Hawksby
