Rolmonica Repair and Rolls
By Ed Schmidt

Ingmar Krause asked about Rolmonica rolls and repairs.  Currently
I have 110 different Rolmonica rolls available.  They are all
copies of the original rolls.  They can be purchased with or without
new spools and boxes.  Individual titles are printed on each box.
A listing of the titles can be found at http://www.music-rolls.com/

In regards to the Rolmonica questions, the Rolmonica was made of
Bakelite.  A drop of clock oil at the cranks and on the spring-loaded
pin that holds the roll will definitely help and will not harm the
instrument.

There should be a rubber gasket completely around the edge of the case
and not in a 'D' or 'U' shape.  I am not sure what the cardboard end
pieces are.  I have not seen them on the Rolmonica I have had.
