Subject: J.C.Deagan player

Hello Ken:  I was pleased to find your name in my web search for music
roll player info.  My name is Richard Slagel and I live in Rome, New
York.  I am a member of the Rome Lodge #96 of the Elks.  We have a
player made by  J. C. Deagan, Inc., with chimes, that was installed
somewhere around 1937.  Have you ever heard of this player?

We are looking for a new paper roll as the current one is getting very
worn.  The current roll is about 7" wide and I have no exact
measurement of the length, but it is continuous for the duration of the
song - Auld Lang Syne.  I don't know if this is the original roll
size or not.

Do you have any information on this unit which might lead me to getting
a replacement roll and possibly even some information on maintenance
and repair ??  Or even where I might get some plain paper which I could
use to make a new roll ??  And how to go about punching the holes ??

I would appreciate any information you could provide - this has been a
real mystery here locally.

Thank-you.

Richard Slagel
