At the risk of denying the MMD membership the chance to hear about
Tel-Ektra pianos & rolls, may I suggest that Gale Chase call Bob & Ginny
Billings.  They have 2 of these instruments.  I got a demonstration when
I visited, and it was really neat!  They even had about 80 rolls,
including some rags.

Bob can tell you all about the mechanism.  These are fascinating machines
with lots of interesting features, and Bob's plays with expression.  I
think he can tell you a few tricks to restoring and rewiring them as
well.  Contact  Bob & Ginny Billings, 14010 Rimrick Dr., Reno, NV  89511
USA ; tel 702-853-4659
