Seek Imperator 53 cm Spring-motor
By Doug Wiggins

[ Ref. Rudi Zukowski in 230322 MMDigest ]

Hi Robbie, I have the Imperator spring-motor that Rudi Zukowski needs.
It came inside a 24-inch Polyphon upright where it has been since
the 1940s, at least. I submitted a query to MMD a few years ago
[210825 MMD] for the appropriate side-winding Polyphon motor (Model
105, if I recall) but there was not a peep from anyone. Any thoughts?

Warm regards and gratitude,
Doug Wiggins

 [ Ask Rick Epperly at www.bettermusicboxes.com if he can provide Rudi
 [ the side-winder spring-motor and provide you a top-winder variant.
 [ That's my thoughts! -- Robbie
