Subject: Circus Organs

I have recently obtained a circus organ that was given to me.  The
donors family would like to see it operational again.  After looking
at your web site, I believe that I have calliope.

My problem is that the organ is apparently homemade and needs work.
The organ is on wheels and is powered by a air.  It has a gasoline
motor that will not stay on.  I have seen other street organs that are
powered by an electric motor and this is what I am going to change to.

It also has an old keyboard in the rear, that has scroll music designed
for it.  It is not operational at this time.  I live in Pensacola,
Florida, and would appreciate any information that you can provide in
getting the organ working again.  Please excuse my ignorance in what I
have.  It is a very beautiful piece of work and I would very much like
to see it in local parades.
