•About six years ago I taped the CBS "Sunday Morning" segment showing of the QRS Factory tour, and sent out the tape to those MMDers who requested to look at it [980420 MMDigest]. I would really like to have that tape sent back to me after 6+ years, but I don't know who currently has it in their pos...

•Just a quick mention of the opacity issue in optical roll scanning. My scanner is not bothered by Scotch tape repairs. The tape is sufficiently opaque that it is read as paper. This is also true of the new dry waxed paper rolls. They read just fine. If a roll is known to have lots of translucent re...

Hi, A long, long time ago I gave a little introduction to a 28 key street organ that I am building. I thought I would give you an update and pose a couple of questions. I have completed and tested the pump and pipe chest. Pallet return springs were made, adjusted and installed (finally!). I assemble...

With much interest I've read the review of the Chicago Convention. Before, I forget, will MBSI be making tapes available of the convention features? I'm particularly interested in Don Barr's Violano presentation. Ed Gloeggler

•In yesterday's Digest Leonardo Perretti gave us a nice explanation about using a cone to produce nice fittings for organ pipes. In "Orgelbouwkunde", the major Dutch handbook on the building of church-organs, the use of a "cone-shape incandescent" tool is explained as follows: The holes in the upper...

•I have not been keeping a real close eye on the hammer shank discussion. I do remember that many of the better grands in the treble section have tapered shanks sometimes made of a different wood such as cedar. You can conclude what you want.

Please advise: I have just rebuilt a Pratt-Read player. In testing various rolls, I did the expected - I shredded a roll for about 2 feet of its length. I am in the adjusting phase of the rebuild. It's an old roll and I love the piece. I know there is a certain type of Scotch tape that works best. W...

In response to the question of a few days previous, I have used Filmoplast "P" archival tape for roll repair the last nine or ten years. It seems to be far superior to 3M Magic tape as it is very tissue thin, repositionable before burnishing, acid free and long lived. It is made by Hans Neschen Gmbh...

K a r l B. E l l i s o n sez: > Can anyone recommend a tape that is thin enough Karl, Try contacting a local microfilm service agency. 3M manufacturers a super-thin tape for use in taping snippets of microfilm. It's self-adhesive, a little difficult to handle, and may be a little difficult to remove...

A few years ago in an AMICA article someone mentioned that he was using some sort of tape for repairing the chain sections, and which actually had little chain-like holes in it. Does anyone know about this tape and where one could obtain some? Thanks, Dee Kavouras

•A couple of days ago, Robbie asked about my "Unusual rolls" and the Piano Roll Sampler Tape I'm currently preparing. This tape is intended to "Test the waters" for a possible series of commercial tapes. The Sampler will have rolls from four categories; Marches (eg: ET Paull), Arranged Medleys (eg H...

•Hi: Just returned from the Deansboro auction and am now just catching up on what's on the MMD and noticed Darrell Clarke had posted the availability of Filmoplast mending paper tape in Australia.

•My recollection of the paper tape used by Hewlett-Packard computers is 1" wide, yellow, .004" thick (20# stock is a good equivalent), and _oiled_. The stock put into the punches was a roll roughly 10" in diameter, on a 1" tubing core. The oil (not wax) was used to lubricate the tape punches. The oi...
