Seek Unit Valves for Tangley Player Calliope
By Stan Harrison

Robbie,  I don't know the term "unit valve", but it might apply to the
fact that each player valve and its key bellows are a "unit".  These
valves are about 1-1/2" wide by 2-1/2" with an adjustable cover glued
in place.  The valves seem to be made of die-cast carburetor metal.

I'm certain the valves are original. They are old and somewhat fragile.
The gasket under one of these assemblies had "Ringling" written on it
in pencil.
