Hi Jody Please Post this. Many thanks in advance!!
For sale: Link Model A orchestrion. This started out as a gutted
Link brought back to life by old-timer Max Pulsifer of Maine. Max
found a few original parts like the pump and roll frame and built
the rest of the mechanism.
Paul Manganaro purchased this about 12 years ago and had it restrung
with a new pinblock. When Paul restored Glenn Thomas's original Link
Model A he copied the interior parts. It is all there but needs to
be rebuilt and put back together. Comes with many A roll recuts.
Note: The last picture is of the completed Link Orchestrion Style A
that Paul copied the internal parts from. It has 49 playing notes,
plus 12 octave-coupled bass notes and 12 coupled treble, 28 flute pipes
and 28 metal Violin pipes, Triangle, tambourine, Tom Tom (tambourine
beater), snare drum, 2 wood blocks, mandolin rail. This is one of the
rarest and largest Link orchestrions built.
Only a handful are known to exist. Over 20k invested, for sale at
$14,000.00. Open to offers; please contact me for more info. The
piano is located in Paul Manganaro's shop in Coopersburg, Pennsylvania.
Pickup only is the responsibility of the buyer.
