Re: Thorens Question; Music Box Repro Discs
By Jack Kane

Terry:  Good talking with you on the phone last night and hearing
your 28" Kalliope -- magnificent!  As I told you (and for anyone
else's info) Barry can't (at this time at least) make repro discs
much larger than a 22" disc.  Wade Jenkins may be able to do
this --  I know he makes 24" Polyphons and the master disc for
those is pretty large, perhaps he can do a repro of the 28" Kalliope if
you can find some kind soul with others to copy.  His phone is: (617) 826-2170.
He is one heck of a nice guy.

For the Thoren's question -- I think you can get a Thorens (Reuge) 4.5"
movement new from both Nancy Fratti and by watching the Antique Trader
(there's one for sale in the Antique Trader I just got today as a matter
of fact.)

Jack Kane, Houston

P.S.  Barry Johnson isn't on the internet.
