•Good reading: both Kevin McElhone and Todd Augsburger corrected a typing error I made. The vulcanisation process of course was invented in 1839, not in 1939! It's like playing the piano: sometimes a finger does land on the wrong key. Sorry for that. Maybe Robbie can correct my posting, in order to ...

•Thanks to Bill Mackin and Todd Augsburger for their tip on how to use Google to search text in the MMD archives! I knew that the MMD subject index searched only words in the subject line (which the editors go to some trouble to make maximally useful), but never thought of the Google approach -- eve...

•I would like to congratulate Todd Augsburger with his barrel organ (050914 MMDigest). > 1) It's a 22-key, 29-pipe barrel-operated organ. Are there others > in this group who have _barrel_ organs rather than rolls/MIDI, etc.? 1. I own a 44-key Gavioliflûte barrel organ. > 2) There is no name or othe...

•I agree entirely with Todd Augsburger -- let "Publish or be damned" be the watch-cry. On the decision whether to be on-line or on the bookshelf, there is a middle course: http://www.lulu.com/ is the web site of a free (yes!) publishing operation. I haven't used it personally but I have a son who ha...

•Dear Phillipa, Recently Todd Augsburger posted a request from you for information about Joseph Walker and his firm in London. Nobody seems to have responded to the list but it may be that they have replied directly to you. If you have this information please forgive the duplication. I looked up the...

•In the 970419 MMD, Todd Augsburger inquires about identifying roller organ cobs. Musical Box Society member Rich Dutton is currently compiling a listing of all cob titles, the results of which are and will be published in the MBSI News Bulletin. Listings and related information related to cobs may ...

•A number of years ago I purchased cloth that was great from Todd Augsburger's roller organ web site. The site looks different now, but cloth is still listed at http://www.organetterepair.com/ Robert Hanulec

•Back in the 1998.04.22.05 MMD, I see that Todd Augsburger poses the question, "Can you describe more fully the purpose/action of these records." It was followed up with a description, but since then, I've run across a web site that has an image of the viewing setup and has *actual samples* of the a...

•Would you believe! At eBay I found the answer to Todd Augsburger's question about the original wrapping for roller organ rollers. Take a look at http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=145681928 which features description and photographs of organ rollers which are new old stock, stil...

•Todd, I was looking over your web site and in particular the section labeled "Todd Augsburger's Roller Organ Label Information", at http://www.rollerorgans.com/Roller_Organ_Details.htm and http://www.rollerorgans.com/Roller_Organ_Labels.htm In the Labels section you have shown various styles of rol...

•I've been following the wiki thread, and think Todd Augsburger has come up with a really good idea. Many of the follow-ups on MMDigest have also been great. A few suggestions from here: The wiki should be limited to factual information. Opinions are better left to discussion groups such as MMDigest...

•Can anyone help this fellow? I'm not familiar with the organ he mentions. Todd Augsburger allmax@bright.net http://www.bright.net/~allmax/index.htm -- Forwarded message, please reply to sender and MMD -- From: valval@penteres.it (Paolo Becherini) Dear Sirs, I am a fancier of mechanical music; my na...

•Call... coll... coliape? Cool! Todd Augsburger mentioned the "coliape" item listed on eBay. I checked the offering page. That's not the only word maimed in the seller's eBay information. Strange, since he had the information right in front of him. At least we could hope that the record sleeve conta...

•In 031001 MMDigest, Larry Wilson asked about repairing a Gem Roller Organ. Well, Larry, I have the answer to your problems and your prayers. Go to Todd Augsburger's web page (www.rollerorgans.com) and buy a copy of his book: Roller Organs - The Autophone Company's "Ingenious Mechanism". In it you w...

•-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD -- ref.: 1997.02.14 MMD: Help Identify Large Cob/Roller (Todd Augsburger) Hi Todd Augsburger, I can't identify your roller but I think that I have some information that I researched that you can use. The following web site has a Gavioli roller playe...

•I have just purchased a Grand Roller Organ which is walnut with applied stenciling on the front and nickel plated hardware. I have and have seen only oak Grand Roller Organs and would like to find out how many other walnut ones are out there. In corresponding with Todd Augsburger he noted that ther...

•Philip, Yes, there are recuts. Charlie Moore has punched then and are being sold at Todd Augsburger's web site on roller organs. I have a copy of each and they are all great. The shorter ones are the best. Brian Walter - Vintage Musicals Muscatine, Iowa

•There must be some magic to the MMD. Not only did I get responses to yesterday's plea to help Valery in Russia with his music box question from Todd Augsburger, Leslie Hoffman, and Vincent Morgan, but magically a communication in English finally appeared in the MBSI inbox from Valery, himself. Here...
