Jack Conway commented in 030202 MMDigest on a Kingston Player
(Wurlitzer) with Coinola works: "I am surprised that there would be a
Coinola player (mfd. by Operators Piano Company) in a Wurlitzer piano."

Coinola made a pushup nickelodeon which may be what Jeff Agee was
referring to in 030301 MMDigest.  At least that's what I thought of
when I read his posting.

Refer to Bowers' Encyclopedia, bottom of page 545, for further info.
I wonder how many of these Coinola instruments survive -- yeah, like
hen's teeth!  The "O" roll unit had everything but a piano!
