•Some years ago I was given an Auto-Typist desk, missing its typewriter. It ran fine, but after a while I figured that I'd never find the correct typewriter, so I dis-assembled it and kept the parts for a future nickelodeon project. That's never going to happen.

•In 2004 I helped find a new home for the Hudson's Schulmerich Carillon. It was the largest instrument of its type built and could be played from a keyboard, 30-note music rolls and sur plat discs.

•Hi Eric, I'm forwarding your question to the Mechanical Music Digest. Perhaps one of their members will answer your question. I do not get involved in the buying or selling of nickelodeons or orchestrions. Therefore, I do not have 'touch' with the fair-market values of these instruments. Since you ...

•Dear MMD readers: In the past I have hibernated my trailer mounted band organ in a friend's building that could possibly have a mouse or two in it.
