•Bill Masterman might be interested to know that I have an all original Style A Seeburg which came equipped with the clear bevelled glass. The one you're looking at may quite possibly be the original glass, too. Hal

•Tomorrow afternoon I will be viewing the pianos at the auction in Lone Jack, Missouri. I can tell you for sure the Seeburg G is a reproduction with probably no original parts or case. If anyone has any questions they can e-mail me on Sunday. Galen Bird ogmbird@aol.com

•In the late 1970s or early 1980s, the late Fred Bachman of Newark, Ohio, sent me pictures of a keyboardless mahogany-colored cabinet with a Victrola-shaped top. If I remember correctly, it contained a reed organ, several small percussion instruments, a pump, motor and four roll players. Because it ...

•I went to the Missouri auction with Paul Morgenroth to see some of the stuff they had to sell. I was interested in the so-called Seeburg roll-playing machine. Curious. I didn't see anything but four spool frames (duplexed two and two) that played G and H rolls. Two on each side. It was factory buil...

•Update on the auction at Lone Jack, Missouri: The Seeburg G is a complete reproduction with one bad rank of pipes. The glass and case are new and the piano plate doesn't have a name on it. The cabinet with the 4 spool frames is a complete reproduction with a set of reeds from a reed organ or accord...

•Galen Bird and I both looked at the stuff labeled Seeburg at this auction and have decided there isn't much there. The "G" buildup had original case panels and an original lid, but someone put a different piano in there. I also noticed that its fallboard wasn't original and was too high, anyway -- ...

•The Seeburg(?) with the four spool frames sold for $2,800. The spool frames were not Seeburg. The reproduction G sold for $4,900. I'm not sure if the two machines actually sold or if they were "buy backs." The 4-spool Seeburg was worth more like $300 for parts, in my opinion. If anyone has any ques...

•I am in need of information. I have just acquired an old Seeburg jukebox. I have no information on this old guy but it appears to be among their first efforts to bridge the transition from coin-op pianos and coin-op phonographs. Here is what I know: Cabinet is oak with a removable oval window on th...

•The Seeburg Jukebox described by Mike Wallace is an Audiophone. There were two styles of this model manufactured. The first and larger was the Audiophone Senior which was introduced in 1928. This automatic phonograph was housed in a nickelodeon cabinet, with the top panel containing two round speak...

•The Seeburg jukebox referred to by Dave Brown in the MMD last Sunday was one of Seeburg's early all-mechanical phonographs, manufactured after the pneumatically-operated ones which did not last for any significant period of time. If you were able to watch the records changing behind clear glass, it...

•Although I realize it's off subject, John Rutoskey's posting on the Seeburg "Select-O-Matic" jukeboxes brought a question to mind that I've been wondering about for years. Didn't Seeburg market a version of the Select-O-Matic mechanism that played 33.3 rpm 12-inch LPs in a conserv- ative furniture ...

•Yes, Seeburg did build a fine record player which played 12-in records. It held 50 records. They were fine sounding machines, but would not sell very well. I know, since I was a dealer. I placed a player unit with a radio station in Arkansas which was used, I was told, to supply music to offices, e...

•I can't give info as to whether the home unit was a commercial success or not, but a friend of mine has both models. One is the 33-1/3 model you mentioned; it is quite large and holds 100 albums. Lots of playing time on that model. Next is his 45 rpm model: it holds 100 records, and would sit on to...

•Yes, Seeburg did make a machine for LP records. It was in a large, low hope-chest cabinet typical of home stereos of the '70s, with a very fine AM/FM radio tuner as well. You selected a record by dialing its number on a regular rotary telephone dial on the tuner panel. I've been tempted to get one ...

•In reply to Dick Merchant's question in 990206 MMDigest about the Seeburg in home use format, I offer the following. I graduated from college in 1962. While there, my fraternity had such a device which played 45-rpm discs. When the double door wood cabinet was opened, the interior was obviously the...

•I will retract the number of records these units hold and concede to Lamar Boulet, as he was a dealer. I was going by the number the owner told me. I know by the size of the 33-1/3 model that it had to hold a lot, because it sure takes up a lot of floor space. Dave Brown

•I have seen five different types of original flute pipes in Seeburg Style G orchestrions. 1. Large scale piccolos, speaking an octave higher than the violins and piano. These are the loudest flute pipes used by Seeburg. They are quite prominent, even with the front doors shut. They are roughly half...

•Tim Trager provided some very interesting background on the Seeburg H orchestrion, and was kind enough to share his original Seeburg H brochure with MMD. I want to update one comment that Tim made. Our Seeburg H, that most recently was at Walt Disney World in Orlando, is already on display at our N...

•Everybody has their favorite sound, as far as the American orchestrion types are concerned. Art Reblitz has shown what the original pipe complements contained in a Seeburg G, were. I love the G music too, and I think of all the "G" pipe combinations, I like the two ranks of open flutes the best of ...
