Ragtime Automated Music Steel Drum Orchestrion
By Tom Noble

Has anyone ever worked on a MIDI-controlled Ragtime steel drum machine?
I bought one that was flooded in Texas and am still trying to get it
to work.

I have each component working if I take it out and test, but I cannot
get the system to work by itself.  I am not sure I have everything
connected right and am wondering if anyone has one of these and can
help with the connections to the various parts.

Also, has anyone ever used the Ragtime West MIDI valves in a regular
player?

Thank you.
