Hi Steve,
I will forward this letter to the Mechanical Music Digest. They
have a daily publication/newsletter and over 600 members. There
are lots of articles on the various electronic/solenoid players
and a number of members are actively involved in improving their
quality. Also, there are lots of articles in their archive. You
can see them by visiting the site at 'mmd.foxtail.com'. I strongly
suggest becoming a member of the group. Check out the details at
the site.
If you would like to be listed at PlayerCare as a Technician, check
out the Tech List Input Form at: www.playercare.com/techform.html
Musically,
John A. Tuttle (johntuttle@playercare.com)
