FS: New "O" Roll Spool Frame and Orchestrion Parts
By Randal Hanna

I have a brand new, never used "O" Roll Spool Frame that I bought
in 2006 from Durrell Armstrong at Wichita Player Piano Co. Inc.
Durrell himself handed me this item before he passed away. I paid
$800 for the spool frame.

This item will include everything you see in the included photos
and more. The leather vacuum bellows are on the bottom left, and the
leather pressure bellows are on the bottom right. Both vacuum and
pressure pumps are in-between the two bellows. Electric is hooked up
to both pumps and spool frame and all three work. The spool frame
comes with one roll of music included. This item will include
a restored antique accordion, metal pipes, and wood pipes. I will
send more photos of the pipes and accordion to anyone interested.

The orchestrion as it sits is on rollers. It measures 2 feet by 4
feet by 8 feet tall and it can be transported by laying it down on
its sides. Please note the rods on both bellows and the cast iron
angles on the spool frame itself. I designed the whole machine to
be laid on its side for transportation.

I will gladly and happily work some kind of deal with anybody
interested. I'm seventy years old and the project has just become
too big for me. I'm in Kansas, USA, so there is that. If you are
close to Wichita (4-5 hours) I can transport for you. I will not
be able to ship unless you want to pay shipping which will include
the cost of me building the crates to ship everything.

I will trade for cash. Better yet I will trade everything for
a hand crank street organ. Make me an offer. What you got to trade?
I'm open to about anything.
