Seek Complete List of Coinola Style "O" Rolls
By Tom Hutchinson

Hi MMD'ers,  In my attempts to increase my "O" roll collection I have
acquired the catalogs of both Play-Rite and Gottschalk Music Co.  Both
have a fairly extensive selection.  I have also noted that a few come
up on eBay with fair regularity, however, almost without exception, the
titles on eBay are not to be found in either catalog.  Does anyone know
if there has ever been any attempt to publish a complete listing of all
"O" rolls ever produced?

I want to thank the MMD readers for the response to my recent request
for "O" rolls in any condition.  What I did not ask for and what I'm
really interested in are rolls for the Universal Nickelodeon which uses
the "O" roll perforating format but the paper is wound on standard large
flange player piano spools.  I've been acquiring "O" rolls, dividing
them and re-spooling them.  This makes for a perfect opportunity to do
any repairs.  So if anyone has any materials that fall into this
category for sale, please get in contact with me.

Thanks,
Tom Hutchinson
