FS: Parts for Mechanical Music Instruments
By Alan Erb

I will be putting a bunch of mechanical music "stuff" on eBay auction
over the next few months.  Some items which I have been asked about
will be there, including roll frames, coin counters, and various other
things of greater or lesser interest.  There will be some music, some
pretty useless things, and some things which I don't know what they
are.

Regardless of what it is, I will try to put things in the eBay
category: "Musical instruments:Keyboard,piano:piano:other pianos".
So if anyone cares to check it out, that's where to look.

Also, if there is anyone who would like to have a band organ on a
budget, and can restore and work with wood, I have parts which could
be turned into organs with effort.  It is hard to characterize what
these machines need to play with pictures and descriptions.  They need
a fair amount of effort, "a lot" of work, or an un-doable amount of
work, depending on experience, ability, and motivation.

Anyway, it seems  that the best way for a person to appreciate the
desirability/feasibility of restoring one of these would be to arrange
a visit to see the stuff, so if anybody has an interest, let me know.
