For the last month I've been corresponding with Dan Dohman at the
Miner Company, the successor to Miner Manufacturing's calliope works.
I recently acquired a Miner Mfg. Co. CA53 Tangley calliope and Dan has
been extremely helpful in providing information and parts.  I've had to
make a few minor repairs and Dan has offered excellent suggestions as
to the best way to approach each issue.  Apparently Dan was a long-time
employee of Miner Mfg. Co.  I can say that my parts order shipped
promptly and arrived intact.

I also understand that Marion Roehl Recordings still has a small number
of the A-rolls that Miner Mfg. used to list on their web site.  Visit
http://www.mrrecordings.com/  and request their catalog.

I'm very impressed with the construction of the CA53.  Pictures are on
my web site here:  http://haskey.com/calliope
