G'day all, I have a 1913 piano player (pushup), made by the Bell Piano
and Organ Company of Guelph, Ontario, Canada.  I'm in the process of
performing a full restoration on it here, but unfortunately in the
past someone removed the pedals and converted it to play with a vacuum
cleaner motor.  One of my tasks is to build a new right hand exhauster
and repair other damages caused to the instrument.

I'm interested in hearing from any other MMD subscribers if they have
owned one of these, or perhaps know of any others around.  At present
I do know of one other, and it's on display in a Canadian museum.  Sadly,
however, due to a recent computer crash I lost the contact information
I had in regards to that one, and I would like to find out some further
details for the spool box controls.

Also, has anyone seen any advertising material for these?

The Bell Piano newsletter dated September 2005 shows a Bellolian:
