The Seeburg Style "L", known today as the Junior or Lilliputian, was
known as the "Cabinet Model" on the Seeburg price sheet.  There are
at least five variations of the Junior case and glass.

All the different "cabinet model" pianos, except the Coinola SO, used
a smaller scale than the 88-note piano.  Some played 54 notes, some
played 58 notes (e.g., Nelson-Wiggen), some 64(?) notes and some 44
notes.  The Coinola Midget was made using two different piano plates
in those models.

There were at least two different manufacturers of the Seeburg L piano
back, so there are two stringing scales encountered in the Seeburg L.
The pianos in early instruments were made by Haddorff and in the later
ones were made by Seeburg.

Most piano plates made by Seeburg have serial numbers in the 155,xxx
range.  There is a small overlap in serial numbers, in the number
series 54,xxx and 55,xxx, of pianos made by Seeburg and those made by
Haddorff.  Art Reblitz can tell more when he has time.  We decided that
there are at least five different plates used in the Seeburg K and KT
models.

 [ Art wrote in 980311 MMDigest: "After 1921, Seeburg built their
 [ own pianos and apparently began numbering them with 50,000. ...
 [ Because 1913 Haddorff pianos were numbered in the low 50,000s ...
 [ in mid-1922 they added a "1" in front of the number, changing the
 [ 55,000 series to the new 155,000 series.  This happened somewhere
 [ between 55,020 and 155,386."  -- Robbie
