Repairing Nelson-Wiggen Style 6 Nickelodeon
By Scotty Greene

The DeBence Museum just received a Nelson Wiggen Style 6 for the
collection.  The pumps and roll drive are in good shape, the case is
excellent, with two stained glass panels in the upper cover, but many
features have been disconnected.  The wood block is gone.  We would
greatly appreciate some internal photos to reproduce the wood block.

The xylophone is missing.  I understood that it should be a 29-note
unit, as on our 4X, but there are only 19 connections on the stack.
Can someone set us straight on this issue?  The transfer unit has been
bypassed because you can't transfer to an instrument that's not there.

We need tubing diagrams to reconnect what is disconnected.  We are
at your mercy for some more information.
