Value of Nickelodeon Rolls and Parts
By Kim Bunker

Hi all,  Sometime ago I acquired a bunch of stuff from Knott's Berry
Farm [amusement park] that was stored in the Ghost Town, at the repair
shop for all of their automatic musical instruments.

A lot of it were spare parts like: multiple cylinders of various sizes,
nickelodeon stacks and "A" roll frames, three nickelodeons: a Nelson-
Wiggin 3A, Seeburg "A" with pipes, Link 2E, a 23-note Xylophone
unrestored looks like it came from a Band organ.

Also some strange rolls: I think two early green paper Wurlitzer band
organ rolls, style 125?; 1 original Mills Violano roll; 1 Wurlitzer
65-note APP roll, 5-tune, for a changer, Green paper, no title;
1 15-tune Wurlitzer 65-note APP, sounds like all Spanish tunes, green
paper no title; 1 thick red cardboard roll, looks like an APP but I
don't know.

I guess what I'm asking is, where do you find out about what
instruments they came from and the value of cylinders, nickelodeon
parts, rolls etc.,   Thanks for now

Kim Bunker
