I am fortunate to be involved in the historical restoration of a
Robert Morton Model 39 Fotoplayer.  This instrument is organ-based,
as opposed to the more common piano-based Fotoplayer models, with
three extended ranks of pipes as well as the usual assortment of
pneumatically operated toy counter devices, as well as two roll
players.

There is no piano, but there are two manuals and a full pedalboard
in three cabinets.  This instrument was originally installed in the
Osbourne Theater, Winnipeg, Manitoba.

What we seek is the opportunity to visit another Model 39.  Can
anyone out there in MMD-land help?  The hope is for this Fotoplayer
to be placed in a planned music instruments museum in Ontario.  Feel
free to respond either privately or in the forum.  Thanks.

 [ For many years Ron has played church organs, big and small, and
 [ dealt with the effects of poor maintenance.  Then he obtained his
 [ very own 3-rank mechanical action pipe organ to restore after
 [ years of neglect.  He also restored the large Aeolian residence
 [ player pipe organ installed in the Morris Sutton Funeral Home in
 [ Windsor.  Read about Ron and these restored organs at
