Nickelodeon Piano Co. of Huntsville, Alabama
By Ronald Hardwig
Does anybody have or know where I can get the wiring diagram for
a nickelodeon made by the Nickelodeon Piano Company of Huntsville,
Alabama?
This company took new, short, upright Aeolian pianos and converted them
into nickelodeons by putting the spool roll frame on the bottom and
adding a section on top for the drums, accordion and other instruments.
They also used micro-electric switches on little pneumatics and added
an electrical control box with a solenoid and more wiring. I have
had to rebuild 18 Wurlitzer valves as the pouches had completely
deteriorated. I don't know what kind of pouch material they used but
it falls apart in your hands now.
I was talked into rebuilding this nickelodeon but I have my doubts
that I can ever get it done. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
