Dear "Rolls"

A.B. Bonds has been kind enough to refer me to you.  I am seeking information on
the Welte Vorsetzer for a film project.

   Do you know of an operating Vorsetzer?

   Where might one find more information on Edwin Welte and his mechanisms?

Kindly reply to me directly at 70335.1255@compuserve.com¶
Thank you very much.

 [ I turned down an opportunity to buy a working Welte Vorsetzer
 [ about two years ago.  I wonder if this was a terrible mistake ?
 [ The unit I looked at had been "completed restored" about 10 years
 [ prior, but had been in storage and had some "mouse droppings" inside,
 [ which made me nervous.  I did not actually test the unit.  What should
 [ such a unit sell for ?
