Seek APP Spools for Wurlitzer O Photoplayer
By Ron Schmuck

Hello Everyone,  We have two Wurlitzer Style O Photoplayers in for
restoration at the present.  Both need music roll spools for the APP
Wurlitzer music roll. Total of 3 needed.  Does anyone have old or new
spools for sale??  If we can't locate 3 we will do a build, so if anyone
is interested in obtaining same let me know.

Also a question:  both instruments have the same block of wood, 3" X
2-1/2" and 1-1/4" high.  There is a 2" dish much, like a large pouch, 
cut in the centre of the block, and a slot at the side of the dish,
possibly for a tube to lay in.  Both are located in the same location in
each instrument, between the flute pipes and violins in the side cabinet.
Anyone have any idea what purpose these served??

Many Thanks
