Hi Robbie, Jody and Matthew!  I just did a show in Syracuse, New York,
and talked with Robert Berkman of Pianola Enterprises.  He used to work
for QRS.  I asked him if QRS was still punching rolls and he said there
was one man there still punching them!  I thought I saw somewhere that
QRS was not punching anymore, so thought this might be of interest.

Enjoy!

 [ Mike Walter provides some more information.  -- Robbie

Tony Paul does the work at QRS [Buffalo], on a full-time (or darned
close to a full-time) basis.  He receives a print-out at the beginning
of the week indicating which rolls are out of stock and which titles
are running low.  He works in the early morning 'til the early afternoon,
Monday through Friday, running through all the procedures of roll
production.  I sometimes go in to help him out a bit when there are
some stencil problems, but he is basically a one-man show.

Best wishes,
