Identify Dual Spoolbox Unit
By Dick Beery

The attached picture is of a dual spool box unit that I found.  I need
help in identifying it and any resources for restoring advice.
It has two separate spool boxes with wind motors.  The tracker bars
appear to be normal 88 note bars.  There are no normal pneumatics the
tracker bars are teed together and operate a series of switches of some
type.  There are only contact outputs.

The reason for asking about the unit is my desire to put a roll reader
on my Theater organ project.  This unit appears to have possibilities
but the 88 tracker bars present a problem.

Appreciate any info or advice from anyone.

Thanks
Dick Beery,  President
