Photoplayer Census
By Steve Grattan

Hi everyone,  I have a customer in Port Huron, Michigan that has
three photoplayers.  I currently am restoring a Wurlitzer Style O
and a Style YU.

The YU was missing its stack but had the valve plates and old valves.
I took the O stack which came in hundreds of pieces and copied it,
except I made an 88-note stack in the same style using the old valve
plates which were very good.  I will be testing that in the coming
weeks.

The other photoplayer is an American Style 40.  That one comes in for
restoration after the two Wurlitzers are done.
