X-Y Laser Cutting Machine To Make Music Rolls
By Ed Chaban

[ Who will pay one hundred dollars for a recut 88-note roll?
[ The price reflects the amount of "shop time" (to pay the mortgage
[ on the laser machine). -- Robbie

Where did the $100 figure come from?  Depending on the roll, $100 might
not be that high a price!

Ed Chaban

 [ "The price of goods or services is determined by the price of the
 [ alternative," said my economics teacher long ago.  If a single copy
 [ can't be obtained from a recutter with a laser machine, the only
 [ alternative is to purchase six copies (or more) from a firm with
 [ either (a) a traveling punch (slow!) or (b) a 100-channel machine
 [ such as Play-Rite and Keystone use.  In other words, a shop recutting
 [ piano rolls will charge about the same price as the competition,
 [ regardless of the technology.  -- Robbie
