FS: Roots Blower & Calliope Panels
By Pete McFall

I have the following leftover pieces from rebuilding my H43
Tangley Calliope #823 built in 1923.  This unit was hand played
only; I created a player stack and Artisan MIDI for it.

1. Front lower sheet metal panel with foot cutout for the calliope
player's feet;

2. Upper front panel with cutout for power switch;

3. Roots blower (no motor).  This is mounted in a wooden box with
handles and castors.  The filter vent (no filter) has both air and
vacuum connections on it.

4. Reasonable facsimile of Tangley keyboard that was replaced some
time before I got it that I reworked as best I could.  (I now have
a Miner style keyboard for it.)

If you are in need of these parts please make offer.  I will consider
a trade for all of the above for a Tangley style roll frame, complete
in working or rebuildable condition, and one ten-tune roll.  Email for
pictures if interested.  These are located in Northern California.
