Hi MMDers, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I was just at Walt
Disney World and I had to stop by the train station on Main Street
to visit the Seeburg KT, formerly owned by Paul and Laura Eakins.
It's not currently playing, but it was great to see it still there
and looking good. I took some pictures and I wanted to share some
thoughts.
It has the reiterating xylophone, box pump, and what looks like
a 1/6-horsepower motor. The piano is Seeburg serial number 159,877
-- placing it in 1924. The J.P. Seeburg section of Mechanical Music
Press is a wonderful resource for detailed information:

I've always liked this style of coin slot, as well, even though it's
an updated 25-cent slot. How were these brass coin slots with the
rounded edges produced?
Best wishes for the New Year!
