Does anyone out there have a Pianotist?  These use a cardboard roll and
were manufactured in the 1890s until about 1907.  I have a "Nickelin"
model which was sold "new" in Milwaukee around the turn of the century
(the other one, that is).  I was told that the coin box was a remote
style and not actually in the piano.

Please email me if you found rolls, own any of these kind of pianos
or have any knowledge about them!

Thanks

 [ In Bowers' Encyclopedia, page 382: "The Pianotist [ca. 1900] was
 [ a roll-operated piano which transmitted power to the piano hammers
 [ by means of a rotating power roller similar to that used in certain
 [ electric typewriters today."  The drawing shows a key frame with
 [ feeler fingers.  Hupfeld sold a similar instrument, too.  -- Robbie
