FS: Link Style A Orchestrion
By Jon Fortunato

Hi Jody Please Post this. Many thanks in advance!!

For sale: Link Model A orchestrion.  This started out as a gutted
Link brought back to life by old-timer Max Pulsifer of Maine.  Max
found a few original parts like the pump and roll frame and built
the rest of the mechanism.

Paul Manganaro purchased this about 12 years ago and had it restrung
with a new pinblock.  When Paul restored Glenn Thomas's original Link
Model A he copied the interior parts.  It is all there but needs to
be rebuilt and put back together.  Comes with many A roll recuts.

Note: The last picture is of the completed Link Orchestrion Style A
that Paul copied the internal parts from.  It has 49 playing notes,
plus 12 octave-coupled bass notes and 12 coupled treble, 28 flute pipes
and 28 metal Violin pipes, Triangle, tambourine, Tom Tom (tambourine
beater), snare drum, 2 wood blocks, mandolin rail.  This is one of the
rarest and largest Link orchestrions built.

Only a handful are known to exist.  Over 20k invested, for sale at
$14,000.00.  Open to offers; please contact me for more info.  The
piano is located in Paul Manganaro's shop in Coopersburg, Pennsylvania.
Pickup only is the responsibility of the buyer.
