FS: Unusual Organette Discs & Piano Rolls
By Kim Bunker

Kim Bunker here from Orange Coast Piano.  I am in the midst of cleaning
up my shop of some weird inventory and was wondering if any of the MMD
subscribers or their friends would be interested in this stuff:

1. 3 Ariosa organette metal ring discs with their song titles still
engraved and in really good shape, 11-9/16 inches total width;

2. 13 Helikon organette cardboard discs, 13" total width, all with
their song titles and in good shape;

3.  2 Gately Automatic Organ rolls with wooden spool ends; inside
dimensions are 8 inches.  One roll is No. 108, with 3 song titles; this
roll is in good original condition.  The other roll is No. 53; it has
a loss of about 10" of the leader, the song title is missing, and both
wooden spool ends are missing half of their wood.

Also I have a box of 14 book music songs for a 78-key Mortier I hope
somebody out there is interested in.  I just don't know what to do with
it.  So if anybody wants this stuff please email us with an offer for
some or all of it.

Next week were going to start inventory of our massive roll collection.
There are now nearly 20,000 rolls in the library -- Expression rolls
like Ampico, Duo-Art, Recordo, etc., and our 88-note rolls.  I also
know we now have about 3,000 65- & 58-note rolls, and we will probably
find a bunch of unusual German orchestrion and whatever rolls in there.
So I'll email you the results.  Thanks for now.

Sincerely Kim Bunker
