Restoring a Weight-Powered Barrel Organ
By William Edgerton

I'm restoring a Viennese secrétaire type organ that has no weight
with it.  The organ plays a 24" barrel, has 49 keys, and has six
ranks of pipes.  I'd guess that the weight should be in the range of
75-125 pounds weight (34-57 kg) but does anyone have a suggestion?
