•Hi All: This time I am looking for a roll to either buy or to borrow to copy. The roll is for a 125 Wurlitzer and the roll number is 3145. Mike Grant does not have that one in his system so I am searching. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you Ralph J Schultz

•Happy New year to all MMD readers. The stiffeners in the pump of an Artizan organ which I am rebuilding seem very plastic-like, black in color and yet very pliable, maybe the food filtration system from a blue whale. A friend of mine was over and I showed him the stiffeners and he said it looked li...

•I presently have a 15-1/2" Regina that is missing a coin slide. I know that they are not as plentiful as credit cards but maybe someone out there may just have one lying around and wouldn't mind parting company with it, so if you have one please contact me and this would be appreciated very much. T...

•Hello: Today I am looking for a 165 Wurlitzer roll chuck, not the lower take-up spool but the upper chuck where you put a fresh roll onto. I am hoping there is one out there, so if anyone has one to sell, please email me and we would be very much in appreciation. Thank you. Ralph J Schultz ...

•Hello, This is in answer to Alan Rigg's question on main spring length. I have replaced many main springs over the years in music boxes and I still don't like it. You cannot always trust the length of what was in there due to others cutting it short because of the eye tearing out of the end of the ...

•All those that responded to the Stella music box winding problem are correct: it is a flat wound spring over the winding shaft and anchored to the main frame. The trick is making that spring. What I have done three or four times in the past is to go to a car dealer and check whether they have any o...

•I have in my shop the spring motor for a 23" Kalliope disc music box, which uses a 5 cent American coin. On the back of the motor is a form of star wheel that will index the coin stop and coin dump. I am missing that star wheel and the pin arm that actuates the star wheel. Any help with measurement...

•Hello: I have in my shop an organ using the Artizan roll frame for 61-note music rolls, also used by B.A.B. I am in the need for a test roll and would appreciate if some one would have one for sale or could lend to copy, or copy one that I could purchase for future tuning, etc. Also, stamped on a c...

•Hello MMD readers: Today I was watching a program from the past on MeTV called "The Rifleman". On the half-hour show from the 1960s which was titled "The Horse Trader," out by the horse corral there was a disc music box playing. The lid was open and it was very easy to see it was a style no. 11 Reg...

•Hello everyone -- As the subject suggests, I have a 32-volt Mills converter exactly like the Violano uses except for the fact that it is a 110 volt input but the output is 32 volts and 6 amps. Does anyone know what Mills built to use this voltage on? I know Mills made many different gambling machin...

•Hello to friends of MMD: What I am looking for is that someone would have a tubing schematic for the 2E Link coin piano. I have taken issues with my machine and, rather then take many things apart to trace tubing that is sometimes very hidden, I am hoping that there is a person who has this; it wou...

•Greetings MMD subscribers: I am the only one that has been manufacturing the Mills Violano bow wheels for the past 23 years. With 392 sets made and still making them, I don't know how many more years I will be doing these, but they are available yet. So if you are searching for them and would like ...

•Does anyone have information about a music dealer that was in Allentown, Pennsylvania? I have worked on a Stella music box and it has a metal label on the lid that says, "Fred F. Kramer music dealer Allentown PA". It would be fun just to find out anything as to what kind of music dealer he was -- p...
