One of these turned up in a box of rolls I bought in a boot ("garage")
sale a few years ago.  It just had the usual scales in singles and thirds
and a short fanfare but went at auction for =L=17 ($28) !

Steve Cox of Laguna Rolls made a whole series of 58-note rolls a few
years back, using extremely tough plastic replicas of the old wood and
metal spool-ends.  I am sure this included the test roll.  But then he
got into 88-note rolls in a serious way and sold his 58/65n perforator
(which read original rolls pneumatically yet replicated short
perforations very accurately) to an organ enthusiast who (the grapevine
says) isn't using it at present.  I would try asking Steve - Laguna's
address was in MMD 960801 & 961222.

Sorry, can't help with 116-note.
