FS Free: Old Mechanic Music Technical Documents
By Andy LaTorre

Hi Folks,  Recently I have been moving from Florida to the mountains
of North Carolina and, in the process of packing stuff, I came across
some papers and information that interested me once upon a time.
I think this stuff has followed me around enough.  I would like it
to be given to someone who could appreciate it.  Here is what I have:

1. Aeolian Duo-Art Information:  {I once had an Aeolian Player Organ
Console, a stand-alone player unit taken from an organ installation,
and a Concertola.  There is no information about the Concertola in the
package.)

2. Aeolian Duo-Art self-standing player info

3. Letter to Ken Clark and response

4. Black and white negatives of unit

5. Aeolian Player Organ Console

5a. Black/white negatives of console

6. Copy of 1896 patent of T. P. Brown Automatic Organ #574,186

7. Blueprint by Barden and Clark (1970) Aeolian Duo-Art Tracker Bar Layout

8. Blueprint DAO-5, Aeolian Duo-Art Control Tubing and Wiring (1970)

9. Spencer Orgoblo Information:

9a. Spencer Turbine Co. Bulletin #123, "Orgoblo Instructions", 12 pages
copied by Spencer Co. on a machine before Xerox was popular.

9b. A Letter from Spencer replying to my inquiry with information
concerning my blower.

10. Austin Organs Incorporated:
10a. Booklet, "The Austin Console", 12 pages.
10b. Booklet, "The Austin Universal Chest", 8 pages.

11. Other information:

11a. Booklet, "Music Roll Machinery", Acme Newark Machine Works, Inc.,
5 pages showing photos and information concerning the Acme Music Roll
Perforator.

11b. Booklet, "The Perforation of Music Rolls with the Leabarjan
Perforator", 32 pages.  Note: only the cover page was copied by the
pre-Xerox copying machine.  The remainder of the booklet was printed
on shiny paper.

12. Vestal Press Technical Series No.4, Wurlitzer Band Organ Bell Unit,
192A model (1973).  This is a blackprint (not a blueprint) of a large
size.

13. Blueprint, Vestal Press (I think), "Scale- 69 hole Tracker Bar
for 157, 164, 165, 166, 170 Band Organs"

14. Broadside: "The German Organ", "Die Deutsche Orgel", by the
Berkshire Organ company.  Included also is a card titled, "General
Practices in German Registration".

I would like to pass the entire package on to an interested party.
The cost would be for shipping only.

Call and leave a message at tel.: 1-828-332-1174 or email me at
italiano34@hotmail.com.geentroep [delete ".geentroep" to reply]

Thanks,
Andy LaTorre
