Seek Welte Philharmonic 150-hole Roll Player
By Dave Krall

Does anyone have, or know the whereabouts of, a self-contained Welte
Philharmonic roll player or complete roll player console?  This would
be for the 150-hole scale playing 15-1/4" wide rolls.

A free-standing Welte roll player in the Liberace residence in
Hollywood is pictured on p. 683 of v. 2 of Junchen's "Encyclopedia of
the American Theater Organ."  It played a 2/10 Welte of 1926 vintage
with a horseshoe console.  Where is that organ and roll player now?
