Nelson-Wiggen Style 6T with Target Game
By Cary Cheldin

Can anyone please explain or provide diagrams or pictures to show
how the Nelson-Wiggen target skill game orchestrions, models 4T,
6T or 8T, were originally wired between the A.B.T. Target game and
the accumulator? That connectivity is currently a big mystery.

I recently acquired a Nelson-Wiggen 6T, with the correct ABT target
game, but the target game works independently of the accumulator
and/or instruments.

I know of two other 6T's in Texas with the correct ABT games but
unfortunately, like mine, those only play tunes independently from
the target game, and their owners would also like to see an original
configuration so that the target game can play tunes.

Further, I know of a Nelson-Wiggen 4T in the Los Angeles area,
complete with the ABT target game, but I've not yet been able to
talk with its owner or examine its functionality.

Are there any other Nelson-Wiggen Target Game orchestrions out
there, other than those four, or might someone have helpful pictures?

Thank you,
Cary Cheldin
