Recordo Expression Box
By John Phillips

In the Digest of 18.04.96 (Australian Date-writing Style!), Steve
Harder enquires whether anyone has plans of an expression box from a
Recordo player.  Well, I haven't got plans, Steve, but I have a spare
expression box.  It is an Electora model A, serial no. 8795, made by
the Motor Player Co. of Chicago.  It's effectively the same box as is
in my Gulbransen, where it works very well. However this box is longer
and skinnier than mine; it's dimensions, not including legs, knobs and
other protusions, are  37 cm by 16 cm by 8 cm.  The legs or support
brackets are pretty rusty but the thing seems intact.  It looks as if
it has never been tinkered with.  It comes out of a battered old
Recordo player I bought years ago with the idea of turning it into a
Recordo-C player.  In the end a piano tuner friend persuaded me he
needed the piano more than I did, so that was the end of that project.
If your friend wants it Steve, it's available in return for a few rolls
or something.

John Phillips.
