Melville Clark Apollophone Player Piano & Phonograph
By Jeff Bridges

I have an Apollophone phonograph/player piano made by Melville Clark.
The Victrola needs to have the spring fixed and the governor needs
a replacement weight and springs.

Does anyone know where I can get or find such a place that would either
repair or replace these items?  I live in Massachusetts.  Also, come
to find out, the player mechanics are standard pneumatics and the spool
box is also the horn of the phonograph.  I will be making a web site
soon showing the process of restoring this combination phonograph and
player piano.

If anyone has one of these types of players please help me with some
sort of tubing chart.  And how does it track the paper?  I don't see
no tracking device.  Questions, questions!  I will have more for you
folks.

Sincerely,
Jeff Bridges <Jeff.bridges@verizon.net>
