My goodness! When I asked Jody and Robbie if it was possible to establish a better link from the MMD Web site to my Musica Mecanica Site, and especially to the Associations and Museum listings, I didn't expect the wonderful comments they added to these links. I certainly blushed ... And that is sure...

•Dear MMDers: I'm not sure the site listed by Karl Ellison yesterday is still current. I requested that they add Meliora Music Rolls not long ago, and was told it was not being kept up to date. I also note the absence on this list of MMDers Andy and Chris Taylor's Tempola Music Rolls, and continued ...

•I am writing to ask the many people who have asked for a link from my site to send me their URL again please.

•Hi, I have just updated my links page at http://home.i1.net/~tempola/links.html It's very possible I may have missed someone.

•My Internet Service Provider accidentally terminated my dotcom Home Page (http://millersmusicrolls.com), and I will not be renewing it. Therefore, I am asking any MMD member who has a reciprocal link with my page to please delete the link. Many thanks, Jill Miller (Bendigo) Australia

•Robbie, I was looking through the files [in the MMD Archives] and then finding an interesting article on the end there can be linked to Foxtail pictures. But then comes my question: Why not give the same date-indication as on top of the article? It would be much easier to locate the picture. Thanks...

•Living near Binghamton and being friends with Harvey Roehl, I get these small tidbits of information. Harvey had been friends with Ed Link for many years and he tells this story. I have forgotten the exact dimensions of the original Link Trainer but it was something like 7 feet 10 inches from stubb...

•While in the Irish Hills area of Michigan, my wife and I stopped at an antique shop across from the Observation Towers. Much to our surprise and delight there were two players. One was the Link orchestrion, the other a nickelodeon with a metal xylophone bars. I can't remember the brand (I was too e...

•Hi there MMDers. I have become aquatinted with someone who has a original Link roll player for the Link theater organs. He is interested in obtaining some rolls for his player and asked me if I knew anyone with some of these rolls. I said I would post it to the MMD for him and see if any surface. S...

•Hi MMDers. Here's a query only a computer dunce would ask. I've recently bought a nice shiny new PC at home with a sound card, speakers and with MS Media Player on board, but I'm not yet connected to the internet. My computer at work is connected but doesn't have a sound card. I would like to play ...

•Any Link instrument owners out there who would be willing to share their audio or better yet their video recordings? If not, would anyone be willing to make a video recording?

•Greetings all, Our season is off to a good start, a lot is happening around the museum. I am, however, in need of a couple of _good_ Link RX rolls. The machine plays several times daily, and our newest rolls are now about 25 years old. I'd like to get a couple new rolls of a very good quality. So f...

•For sale: Restored Link Style 2 nickelodeon. This machine is in beautiful mechanical condition and was recently completely restored by Don McDonald in Florida. I bought it unseen to keep but was unhappy with the veneer, as it was redone at some point and is wavy in places. Price $8500. It is locate...

•I'm trying to get a recently-acquired Link in operating order, and one of the more perplexing problems is that someone removed the original coin accumulator and substituted a mess of relays and bare wire suitable for Boris Karloff. The original chute is laying in the bottom of the unit, but a previ...

•I have come across some interesting old rolls in cleaning out items from the estate of a friend. I would like them to go to a good home where they will be used and appreciated.

•-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD -- I have a Link wallbox that is different from the one shown in the "Encyclopedia of Automatic Musical Instruments."
