Restoring 58-note Wilcox & White Player Organ
By Kent Arnold

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --

I am restoring a 58-note Wilcox & White Symphony player organ, with
22 stops and six ranks of reeds.  The spool box has been rebuilt
(badly) for 65-note rolls.

I can use any technical information and pictures to restore this
instrument's spool box correctly.  The [Wilcox & White] rolls are the
same as the 58-note Aeolian roll but the printing is on the reverse
side, six holes to the inch on 10.22" wide paper.

The rolls are loaded from the front with the flange to the left, the
take up spool is in the back.  Originally it would have had a wooden
tracker bar.

Thanks for the help,
Kent Arnold
