Seek 11" Cylinders for Mermod Ideal Music Box
By Rick Cooley

Hi gang,  I have finally found 14 of the 27 cylinders for a Mermod
Frere Ideal 11-inch Interchangeable Sublime Harmony music box.  I have
a great table that will hold 30 cylinders.  Mermod gave the Sublime
Harmony 11-inch Ideal Music Box a "700" series of numbers, 700 through
727.  These numbers can be found on the end of the flange for the cylin-
ders.  It would great to have all 28 (with the possible variations, two
of which we already have.)

I have found out, however, that if a customer wanted several tunes from
different standard cylinders, Mermod would produce a "custom" cylinder
and add "A" or "B" along with the number.  For example, we have cylin-
der 713-A and "720-A".  The numbers of variations may be endless.

If you have or know of someone who has any of the following numbered
cylinders for sale (or any "A", "B" or "C" variation), please let me
know.  I certainly would like to at least fill up the cylinder cabinet
I recently acquired.  Seek 700, 706, 707, 709-712, 716-719, 721, 722,
724-726.  Any help or leads would be greatly appreciated.

With regards,

Rick and Betty Cooley
