Roll-Operated Player Pipe Organ Census
By David Sharpe

I have all the parts of Aeolian Opus 903 in my barn, not installed
and in fair condition.  The console is in the house and I have
connected electronics to it in the last two houses before our latest
move.  It has two manuals and 19 ranks -- 14 duplexed manual ranks,
3-rank echo, 2-rank pedal plus chimes and harp and 116-note player.

Aeolian Opus 1129, a two-manual, 30-rank organ is said to still exist
in a Jewish children's camp in my town.  I have spoken with someone
who has seen it but have not visited it myself.  Rollin Smith's book
lists it as unplayable.
