Hello everybody, Thank you all for your responses to the roll player
found in Buenos Aires. I have been busy and have not been able to
respond to you all; I am sorry.
I got some new photographs of the roll player today. After dusting the
roll player, my Argentine friend counted that there was 72 holes, not
71 -- one had been completely covered over by dust. Perhaps this can
help identify it better.
Robbie had told me in private that the electric roll motor was most
likely added later. This theory has been proven as there are screw holes
for where the old motor went. A photo of these is attached.
If you remember from my last post on the topic, I had noted two cut-up
panels that were cut up that had Tempo controls. We put one into place
on either side of the roll frame, and it fits well. I have attached
a photo of this, too.
My contact forgot to get a ruler to measure holes per inch, but he
did take some pictures with his hand on the tracker bar for scale.
Two photos of this are attached.
I hope this helps my efforts to identify the machine. Thanks in advance
for any tips!
