Aligning the Music Roll on Stafford Nickelodeon
By Nile Wendorf

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMDigest --

About 15 years ago we purchased a Stafford Nickelodeon from Allan
Stafford.  It's been great.  Unfortunately, I've forgotten how to align
the paper roll with the head.  I seem to remember that Allan told me to
align it on the 17th hole from the left.  When I do that, the sound is
out of tune and endlessly rewinds.

I was hoping someone could help me with how to figure out what is the
correct way of mounting and adjusting a music roll.

Thanks.
Nile Wendorf
