MIDI Control for Ruth Organ vs. Tracker Bars
By Craig Smith

Bette,  You should contact Don Scheetz who is a subscriber and MBSI
member, I think, as he can probably make you a new tracker bar in a lot
less time and for a lot less money than converting the organ.  And
where would you get the MIDI music to play if you did convert.

Craig Smith

 [ Bette Largent wrote, "the tracker bars need to be replaced as well
 [ as the rolls."  I suspect that the cost of replacing the tracker
 [ bars is pale in comparison with the cost of replacement rolls (which
 [ really should be new for full-time service with the carousel).
 [
 [ Of course, transcribing the existent B.A.B. rolls and editing the
 [ errors is about 70% of the work to recut the old rolls.  So which
 [ option should Bette elect?  Re-cutting the old rolls and preserving
 [ the Ruth-B.A.B. configuration might be feasible if there were
 [ enough buyers for the set of recut B.A.B. rolls.   -- Robbie
