Does anyone sell the steel pin ends for 65-note rolls?  I want to make
some orchestrion roll flanges and cores, and some ready-made pins would
save time.  These rolls had wood flanges, which I will try to copy on my
lathe.  Any suggestions on a source for the cores?  It would be similar
to 65-note roll cores.  I assume they originally used a cardboard tube.

 [ The earliest Wurlitzer APP coin piano music rolls were wound on
 [ spools that were identical to 65-note ("Aeolian") piano roll spools
 [ except narrower, and the core was one-piece solid wood.  Overall,
 [ I consider it an excellent mechanical system design and superior to
 [ the 88-note system with its wobbly flanges.  Unfortunately, pin-end
 [ wood spools are significantly more expensive to fabricate.
