Re: Roll Frames
By Matthew Caulfield

In the last digest Thomas Logan asked about sources for Wurlitzer
roll  frames.  George  Cooper (Wichita, KS?), ex-husband of  Jill
Cooper, Wichita (the  woman  who  made Wurlitzer unit  blocks  up
until recently) makes roll frames, or  he  did  last  I knew.   I
think they were around $500, depending on size.  I suggest a call
to Player Piano Company, asking  to  speak  to Durrell Armstrong,
himself.  He ought to know about sources.

Steve  Lanick,  in Pittsburgh, used  to  make  very excellent and
authentic replicas of Wurlitzer roll frames, until OSHA regs  and
other problems made it hard to find somone to cast  the necessary
parts.

Regarding the paint scheme for your facade, I  am  not clear what
you  are looking  for, pictures of original factory-paint facades
(of which there are few)?
