Introduction
By Bob Hobbs

My name is Bob Hobbs (North Beach, Maryland) and I have been signed
on for about two weeks.  I really appreciate the work of Jody Kravitz
in moderating this forum.  I am a relative newcomer to the realm of
automated musical instruments.  Professionally, I am an astronomer now
retired from the aerospace management business.  I am a church organist
and I have in my home a 10-rank Moller church organ (vintage 1901) and
a 4-rank Wurlitzer style B theatre organ (vintage 1922).  Both are
playable.  As far as automated instruments are concerned, I have an
88-note pumper, a 1932 Stroud Duo-Art (both mostly restored and
working) and several other unrestored 88-note pumpers.  I recently
acquired an unrestored Seeberg MO.  The MO had been converted to play
N.O.S. rolls.

   Now a couple of questions about the MO.  Is there a source for NOS
rolls?  The swell shade pneumatic and the hammer rail pneumatics had
been removed from the MO.  Can anyone help with providing information,
pictures, drawings, etc., or even lend me samples to be reproduced?
Any help would be appreciated.
