Seek "Auto-Organ" Organette Information
By Todd Augsburger 

I am looking for a photo or information on an "Auto-Organ" organette,
specifically the top hold-down; I need to recreate the missing
piece(s).  These organettes were, I believe, sold by the L.A. Barber
Co. after purchasing the Autophone line in 1888, and they play 22-note
strip music like the Autophones.  I'm missing the top "hold-down" which
puts pressure on the roller.  There is a small photo in Bowers'
Encyclopedia, page 768, but I cannot see what is supposed to be there.

Thank you,
