•Randolph Herr's taped Ampico roll sounds very much to me, like an Ampico "sub super" (as Ampico called them), which is an Ampico editor's copy. The roll shows all the work the editor made with narrow strips of paper pasted to the roll's perforations. Once corrections were completed to the editor's ...

•Did anyone tape the "CBS Sunday Morning" segment on mechanical music? I missed it due to a family medical emergency but would like to see it if someone might be willing to copy their tape. Reg Smith musicboxer@alltel.net.geentroep

•For sale: tape deck for Pianocorder, as is, $65 plus postage. Robert Leber Fremont, California

•A good repair tape I have used for mending torn roll edges is Lineco Mending Tissue. When installed, it's practically invisible. It is pH-neutral and is used by archivists. (Previously mentioned on MMD). I'm not sure how good Scotch Magic tape is, but we all know that cellophane tape previously app...

•I have had trouble recording my tapes onto CD. I have an H-P CD writer and blank CD's. The way I have to work the CD writing process I have to record tape recorded music onto a WAV file, then I save that to my hard drive and add it to the CD. I am using Voyetra Audiostation to record the WAV files...

•I watched Larry Norman demonstrate his archival tape at Charlotte NC and thought that it was a really great product. I'm personally happy to know about it, and would recommend it to all the aficionados of classic players. However, I have to see QRS's point, and don't think that it's irresponsible t...

•Doug Henderson suggested buying a transcript tape of the NPR Gershwin story for $23.70. Those able to listen to RealAudio files can listen for free at: http://www.npr.org/ramfiles/wesun/20000213.wesun.13.ram Bill Jelen Akron, Ohio

•Interesting that Lee Munsick mentioned magnetic tape recording [020507 MMDigest, Paper Music Media vs. Magnetic Music Media]. I heard a speech by Dr. Clarence Hickman, who was none other than the inventor of the Ampico model B and later hired as a research and development scientist for the army dur...

•The catalog number for your carousel's tape cassette plus the fact that you spell the word as "carrousel" both point to the likelihood that the tape of band organ music which you have comes from Carrousel Music, Chambersburg, PA. Even if it does not, in the event that your tape player uses a standa...

•Where does one find paper tape, and "mending tissue?" Doug Anderson

•Noel Butler asks about roll repair tape. The industry standard bible on pianola repairs refers to the use of a 3M's plastic tape (page 205/206). My advice differs from that in the good book. Paper, as a material, is characterised by having a low elongation (up to about 4 percent maximum) and is hyg...

•I have been using Scotch Magic Tape since at least 1969. I do also use the document tape since it is now suggested. However, since my player has the "fingers" for mechanical tracking I need a firm tape, not the paper tape. Besides, way back long ago QRS itself suggested Scotch Magic tape. I think t...

•Somewhere I read that if you put tape on one side of the roll then you should put same amount of tape on other side of roll. Don Teach

•For sale: I have 16 cassette tapes, as follows: (a) Numbers 1-11 marked Raffin 31-note organ rolls No. 1-130, sample tape with Raffin 31-note selections on one side and Raffin 20-note selections on the other, and ()b) four cassettes for the Melvin Wright 20-note organ, with the tunes listed. These ...

•Bobby Clark asked about repair tape for Ampico boxes. Do you have Ampico boxes that are in poor condition that need to be repaired? Why not replace them instead? I have new Ampico boxes identical as the originals in size, artwork, and quality. Both "Top Hat" and large boxes are available for $6 eac...

•Does anyone have any cassette tapes of a Seeburg Celesta that I could get a copy of? Thanks, S. K. Goodman

•A friend is looking for tapes of hand-cranked street organs (monkey organs). Any suggestions will be appreciated. Fritz Gellerman

•Recently I came across some old tapes that I'd made of the Wurlitzer 165 at Glen Echo Park in Glen Echo, Maryland, back when it played Caliola rolls (c. 1977). Unfortunately, I don't seem to have the tune lists that went with the tapes. I'm looking for listings for T.R.T. rolls 6115, 6122, 6121, 60...

•I have finished getting the old tapes I have of the Tilden Park organs onto CD. There are four disks of the large B.A.B. organ, each at least 70 minutes with 28-30 tunes (three 10-tune rolls). There is one disk of the small organ, 19 tunes, 45 minutes. Each disk comes with a tune sheet, at least as...
