I had an experience some 15 years ago with a coin piano in a bar in
Virginia City, Nevada.  I can't recall the name of the custom "O" roll
piano, but it was not RAM.  I mentioned to the owner of the bar that
I make "O" rolls, and he said he would like one; it was #SB1, the
Ragtime roll.

The spool frame setup was sure different in way of the spooling -- it
was like an "A" roll, front-to-front over the tracker bar.  Also, the
drive motor was on the right hand side.  To get my roll to work on this
frame, I had to change the little wood cleat inside the core, then put
all the paper on the take-up spool and rewind it back to make it
"front-to-front".  I hope I have got this correct, it was a long time
ago.  I do know it was some ordeal involving at least two operations;
all this For $25.00!

In the bar itself was a "hand played" piano, somewhat raised well above
floor level.  Maybe some of you recognize the place in Virginia City.
