I am presently trying to restore an old BA Aeolian-Hammond player organ,
and like a fellow member, I am looking for a test roll. It is the 116
holes per tracker bar and 12 holes per inch. If someone is cutting this
please let me know. I thought about using a 12 character/inch typewriter,
with no success, and like the gentleman said I don't want to get out the
old X-acto knife.
In some literature I read where a roll was included in each new organ
sold. Since they manufactured at least over 100 of these monsters, there
should be a large collection somewhere. Still looking for that mother
lode.
