Seek Photo Of Caliola Rewind Lever Pneumatic
By Jim Quashnock

I am working on a 1930 Wurlitzer Caliola.  This is one of their
calliope versions with the "upside down" whistles installed in front.
One item I am missing is the pneumatic which engages the rewind lever
-- similar to that used on the 105 band organ.  Can someone please send
me a picture of this pneumatic, with perhaps some dimensions, so I can
fabricate one.

I believe I have the valve which sends the pressure signal to this
pneumatic, which I'm sure is little more than just a book pneumatic
operated backwards.  But a picture would help as I see no evidence
of one being there (i.e.: no screw holes), but there must have been
something.  I've included a picture of the lever which needs
pushing.
