Hi friends,

I received two calls tonight, which I want to pass on to the list.  The
first call was inquiring about the where-abouts of a part for an
Aeolian Grand player reed organ. Seems that after he bought one from
me, he got the fever, and purchased another one.  Because I know that
mine was complete, he apparently did not do his homework when he bought
the second one...  and now needs a rather vital part.  He needs an **air
motor**.  The instrument is a pressure instrument.

Second question was asking for a lead on a player reed organ. This
fellow would like to buy one all restored and ready to go.  He stated
that last year they purchased a Welte grand piano, and enjoy it so
much, that they decided to buy a player organ this year! (BTW, I have a
beautiful Wilcox and White Symphony that awaits restoration for
$800.00.  You can see it at my web page, http://www.epix.net/~cshannon)

And, thirdly, a plea for information.  Has anyone successfully converted
an Allen MOS-1 organ to MIDI?  It is a second generation MOS, a 903-3
from 1984.  Thanks for any information. Anyone can email me if their
message is not of interest to the entire list.
