Ragtime Automated Music Built-up Orchestrion
By William Edgerton
An acquaintance asked me to look at a Ragtime build-up and I did so
today. It plays very weakly and won't rewind; it had new bass strings
but old hammers! I'd appreciate learning if anyone has experience with
the Ragtime system which is full of plastic pieces and if there might
be a service manual or something like that in existence.
Regards,
