Joe Rinaudo helped me restore my Style 20 American Fotoplayer in
the early 1980s.  I accumulated probably 100 or so of the Filmusic
Picturolls and used them to accompany silent movies, especially those
featuring Charlie Chaplin.  It was great fun and great entertainment.
Time marches on and my Style 20 Fotoplayer is now in the collection
of Joel Jancko in South Florida.
