Introduction, roll information
By Jeremy Stevens
I've been reading the Mechanical-Music-Digest for a few months now, and I realized it was time to Introduce myself. I've been an active collector for about a year, and I've had an interest for as long as I can remember. My father has been collecting nickelodeon type players for a long time, so I grew up with a strong appreciation for Mechanical music. So far, I have a Seeburg KT and a Coinola JX that both need a complete restoration. I plan to restore them myself, so I've been reading all the restore information I can find and the Mechanical-Music-Digest has been a great source of information.
I've read "Player Piano Servicing and Rebuilding" by Reblitz, that I had to barrow from a friend. I just found out that Vestal Press has this book in stock again, so I ordered a copy for myself.
I've been ordering G rolls for my KT and I noticed that the roll list doesn't have "Gottschalk Music Company" on it. Paul Gottschalk has hundreds of A, G, O, Wurlitzer, and other player rolls, in stock. The address is:
Gottschalk Music Company
208 South First Street
Champaign, Illinois 61820
217-351-1099
I'm looking for some parts for my collection. I need a coin box for my late style, Seeburg KT, and a set of 24-note Coinola Orechestra Bells for my Coinola JX.
Thanks for any information anyone might have.
