Re: Coinola A Missing Parts
By Stephen Kent Goodman

To: Stan Rhine
RE: Coinola

Dear Stan;

Take a piece of steel bar stock wide enough to use as a jig and buy some sheet tin, folding it over the bar and soldering it for a coin chute. Flattened conduit is tacky and non-original. Also, you will probably need round leather belting (some larger hardware stores still carry it, or write Player Piano Co, Wichita, KS) and belting pliers and hooks. Use a string to measure the length to travel- cut your belting about 1-2" shorter than needed(it will stretch). Run it for a few hours to "take in" slack. Good luck with the project. I had a style "A" myself once.
