Seek 116-note Organ Test Roll
By Eugene Rogers

I am presently trying to restore an old BA Aeolian-Hammond player organ,
and like a fellow member, I am looking for a test roll.  It is the 116
holes per tracker bar and 12 holes per inch.  If someone is cutting this
please let me know.  I thought about using a 12 character/inch typewriter,
with no success, and like the gentleman said I don't want to get out the
old X-acto knife.

In some literature I read where a roll was included in each new organ
sold.  Since they manufactured at least over 100 of these monsters, there
should be a large collection somewhere.  Still looking for that mother
lode.

 [ Our member Richard Vance is preparing an article describing how
 [ s 58-note test roll at 6/inch can be used to test 12/inch organs.
 [ The technique might also work for the Hammond system.  -- Robbie
