Matthew also provided me with a set of photos of the duplex roll frame
at Seabreeze Amusement Park.  I did not respond earlier as I did not
think I have the parts mentioned.

Matthew's mention of photographs reminded me of the set of photographs
that Bob Ryesky of Carlisle, PA, gave me.  Bob can make any part of the
duplex tracker and has the patterns from Mike Kitner.  Bob advertises
in the MBSI bulletin as R&R machine shop.  He did most of machining for
Mike Kitner and still does so for Bill Black, who has also recommended
his work on the MMD.  I have used Bob myself.  Bob's phone number is
(717)243-0121.

I know for a fact that he has a pattern for the clutch dog (that links
the two assemblies) as I had an estimate from him for such.  This
clutch dog is made from pot metal and is prone to failure.  If it is
the part I am thinking of then it is linked using something like a
bicycle chain.

Doyle Lane was also helpful in finding non-duplex parts.  With Doyle
Lane, it is helpful to have a picture of the needed part.  The last
I knew Player Piano Company. Wichita, Kansas, still had copies of the
Vestal Press reprints of the "Long Roll Duplex Tracker Frame."  These
have the original replacement part reference numbers used by the service
personnel.  I highly recommend that anyone with a duplex frame use this
part numbering system.

I have a few extra parts myself, mostly the shift lever for the large
speed wheel.  I also have a number of the idler arms that holds the
five rewind transfer wheels.  These are unfinished castings.  Most
of the gears, save the largest which Bob Ryesky can make, are stock
products from Boston Gear.  In addition I have extra sets of simplex
speed regulator part castings.
