Hi MMD,  The recent announcement on MMD of roll repair table
availability has resulted in several inquiries requesting photos
and information.

The overall dimensions of the table are 25 x 17 x 4 inches.  The
tables are made of galvanized sheet metal and machined aluminum.
Visualize the repair table as a roll spool box laying on its
side.  In use, the feed spool is on the right and the take-up spool
is on the left.  Simply insert the roll to be repaired, and with
the cranks feed the paper across the surface of the table.

These tables will accommodate 58-, 65- and 88-note rolls.  They will
not handle the larger 10-tune nickelodeon rolls or Wurlitzer style
rolls.

For shipping, the cranks have been reversed with handles turned to the
inside.  Included is an Allen wrench and a detailed set of instructions
plus photos.  Also included is a copy of the article, "Piano Roll
Repair", by Tom Hutchinson, as published in the Sept/Oct 2009 AMICA
Bulletin.

Hopefully I have addressed all of the questions that have been sent
by fellow MMDers.  If you need further info ask and I will try to
incorporate it into revised versions.

I want to thank Robbie and Jody for their help in the piano roll repair
table endeavor.

Tom Hutchinson
