Seek Parts for Build-up O-roll Orchestrion
By Ben Gottfried

Hello Everyone,  I have a "build-up" orchestrion here that I am
working on.  It did not have a triangle installed in it and I
thought maybe someone here would have one of them on the shelf
that I could use.

The tambourine was built incorrectly with a single acting pneumatic
which will not work well as the O-roll system by Coinola calls for
a reiterating tambourine.  If someone has a reiterating pneumatic
for it that would be nice. Actually I could use a few reiterating
pneumatics if someone has a few of those kicking around.

I could also use a 25-cent coin plate for the outside of the piano.
It looks so uninviting with just a slot and no plate on there.

Many of us remember the days when it was popular to convert player
pianos into these O-roll build-ups. Many of them seem to be floating
around now in need of rebuilding.  Hoping someone can help me out.

Thanks,
