Does anyone have production figures on Seeburg Orchestrions. Mine is rather unique. It is a KT in Red Mahogany with Flute pipes. It has two girls dancing around a rising sun art glass. The KTs I have seen for sale have Xylophones and Oak cases. I would sure like to know how many out there are like m...

•Responding to Ken Gordon: First off, I hope your piano is a "KT" and not a "K". The KT had the addition of tambourine, triangle, and castanets. I would like to know the serial number of the instrument since Reblitz and I collect those. We would also like to know if the accumulator is cast iron or s...

•I have a customer interested in possibly purchasing a Seeburg KT or KT Special orchestrion. If anyone knows of an available specimen, please contact me with details. John D. Rutoskey Automatic Music Machines Baltimore, Maryland 21223 410-887-4297

•Good luck on finding the locks for a Seeburg "L", and if you do, please share the information with me. I have found (with Dave Ramey's help) two sources for those locks, only to have both companies go out of business. It seems that the last company to make these locks was in Germany, and only wants...

•I would choose a Seeburg. Rolls are easier to find, they are easier to rebuild, play-rewind is more reliable. Wurlitzer changers are not always reliable, and stick and act up. The Wurlitzer pumps are usually covered in leather and are a royal pain to do over. Wurlitzer changer rolls are hard to fin...

•There is a great tape of a Seeburg E playing songs of its era for $6.00 (actually $5.99). The Seeburg E has been completely restored and is in beautiful working order thanks to Dave Bovell. The piano features 24 violin pipes and a mandolin bar in accompaniment to the piano. This tape is of better q...

•About eighteen years ago, I embarked on a "journey of insanity", i.e., I built my own 44-note cabinet piano from scratch. The Wurlitzer company in Holly Srings, Mississippi built the piano actions for me; I did the rest. Most difficult part was the foundry pattern for the plate, but all was done. I...

•Howdy: A friend owns a Seeburg "L" coin-operated machine, and needs both glass windows, original preferred (of course...) but would be happy with good reproductions. He is negotiating on the purchase of two original left side windows, one of which would be trading stock. Please reply to me privatel...

•In the Seeburg L there are two common types of glass and some rarer variations. The Seeburg L is often found with two case variations. This means that the glass from one Seeburg L made in 1921 would not fit the L from 1927. The 1921 Seeburg would have two doors on the front of the machine while the...

•Not sure which style L Seeburg is referred to here. They actually made two style L instruments that bear no resemblance to each other. Here is suggestion for possible art glass replacement. There are places around most major cities where art glass classes are held and they are sometimes looking for...

•I recently visited some friends who restore player pianos. They do very good work, but are stumped with a problem with a Seeburg pump. The pump is the "Alligator" type, with reinforcements on the inside of the bellows material. Apparently, the pump was once covered in leather, and the owner felt th...

•A lady sent me an e-mail requesting info on a J. P. Seeburg as to the worth of restoration. She gave me two numbers. One on the inside front left (??) is 57505. Another in the plate is 59104. The picture she sent showed it to be in good condition. The glass is not original. I can send a picture to ...

•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 ...

•Wanted: I am trying to locate the complete tempo regulating control unit that goes under the keyboard of a late Seeburg E. (You know, the faster/slower control you turn which attaches to the shaft, which moves the rubber wheel in and out on the big flywheel). Anyway, my rebuilder says this device i...

•Several days ago someone asked the value of a Seeburg model "B" nickelodeon. I saw no responses. In my opinion an unrestored Seeburg B complete with all the original parts should bring somewhere around 3,000 dollars in the U.S.A. The Seeburgs were well-built instruments that can provide hundreds of...

•I have never seen one worn out to the point it can't be repaired. I really question the rebuilder on this one. Don Teach, Shreveport Music Co 1610 E. Bert Kouns, Shreveport, LA 71105 dat-smc@juno.com

•I can't imagine what would wear out on a tempo regulator that couldn't be repaired, but if there is I still have some castings left for the bracket that mounts to the keybed. These castings are un-machined and cast in very high quality cast iron. If there are any other iron parts needed, I may have...

•I would like to reiterate Don Teach's comments concerning the tempo regulator for a Seeburg piano. If the unit is there and complete, there is no reason at all that it cannot be fixed. Something doesn't sound right to me either. Is the original assembly there at all or not? If it is there, what exa...

•Does anybody have any Automatic Music Roll Company (Seeburg) HO rolls or Clark CR rolls? I would like to see a listing of any for sale, to see what titles are available. Thank you, S. K. Goodman
