Waltham Electratone Coin Piano at Music House
By Bruce Ahlich

The Music House Museum has finished restoring a Waltham
Electratone, which will be displayed and demonstrated when
the Museum opens in May.  There is a scarcity of information
regarding this instrument.  It's specific history is unknown.
We would appreciate a "push" in the right direction to locate
more information on the company and their automatic piano output
for our archives.  Please contract myself at email address
listed if you can assist.

 [ A 1914 advert in Music Trades Review says it's "the Electratone
 [ (Electric coin-operated) manufactured by the Waltham Piano Co."
