•I'm working on a Seeburg KT nickelodeon, and need to replace the flexible straps that connect the main pump bellows to the eccentric drive shaft. What is the material of choice for those straps? I'm assuming it must be a fabric-reinforced rubber, or something similar, but would appreciate some hint...

•To Stephen Kent Goodman: Try http://www.cherrytree-online.com/ They have hardwood (maple) balls in 1", 1-1/4", and other sizes, quite cheap. Lots of other stuff, too, that the list members might like. Service has been excellent when I order. They also have small toy musical movements. Tom Detweiler...

•-- forwarded message, please reply to sender and MMD -- Would you know where I could find a player mech. for a J. P. Seeburg 155937 ? Thank you, Patricia

•Can anyone suggest a source for the rubber female plug used in Seeburg male plug caps (rear of piano)? All of the modern ones I have found are too fat. Thank you, Stephen Kent Goodman

•I am in need of a pressure reserve/distributor found on the back of a Seeburg Celesta. Does anyone have one for sale, or does anyone have mechanical drawings for constructing one? Thank you, Stephen Kent Goodman

•[ In 000204 MMD David Fowler asked if there is a definitive resource [ that shows all of Wurlitzer's cabinets and stained glass patterns. Unfortunately there is not a definitive book with pictures on any American-made nickelodeon piano. Look at the MMD Pictures site, at some of the Coinola Posters ...

•For those of you familiar with the Seeburg Celesta, I'd like to get your opinion as to the following question. Would the stack valves be able to handle the load of the small vacuum-to-pressure interface pneumatics, as well as pull pouches to a xylophone, in a typical Seeburg orchestrion fashion? Mi...

•Hi: Did anyone attend in person and inspect that KT that was held at auction a few weeks back in Iowa, I believe? Does anyone know what it went for and what condition it was in? Thanks, Mark Forer

•Don Teach wrote about Les Paul, "Anyone know what happened to his Seeburg E he had in his recording studio in the 1960's?" Don, I bought that instrument in the late 1970's. It had been gutted thoroughly before I got the instrument. It was quite a late "E" with the three-level modifying switch to co...

•Don Teach asked what ever happened to the Seeburg E From Les Paul's Studio. I saw the E in my good friend Keith Taylor's home when we both lived in New Jersey. Keith explained that the piano had been gutted and tacks were pushed into the hammers to give it a tinny sound. It was one of the cleanest ...

•-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD -- Hello Foxtail, I am a piano restorer in the Washington/Baltimore area specializing in cabinet restoration and refinishing.

•Regarding Kevin Hancock's post seeking lamps for a Seeburg "E" piano. Are you referring to the early swan art-glass "E" with large square post lamps, or the later "E" that has small lamps on the front panel? If someone is reproducing the large post lamps on the early "E" I would be interested in fi...

•Since my name was mentioned... I do not know of anyone making the early style lamps that fit on the front post of early Seeburgs. Several people have had the lamps that fit on the later style Seeburg E's cast. I had two sets of Wurlitzer lamps cast in brass two years ago for $150.00 a set. I do not...

•-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD -- Music House Museum has recently acquired a Seeburg "K" in good restorable condition with the exception of the missing arched stained glass panel that featured dancing girls. It would be great to locate an available original. In lieu of that, we h...

•I am seeking a pair of doors for an early Seeburg K nickelodeon. The doors should measure approx. 18 1/8 x 39 inches each. The response I received from my "Seeburg parts for sale" was overwhelming. I recovered my investment in these parts plus a modest profit. Most of all; there are at least three ...

•Does anyone out there know where we can buy a recut Seeburg H roll with Christmas tunes on it? We would like to play Christmas tunes in the Crescent Hotel lobby this season (nice time to start thinking about it, right?). Marty Roenigk Eureka Springs, AR 72632

•Perhaps one of our MMD readers can help me. I just finished restoring a Holtzer-Cabot "Seeburg" motor and installed it in my newly restored Seeburg K piano with pipes, and to my surprise the motor runs backwards -- counterclockwise. Can the rotation of this motor be reversed? Also, what Seeburg pia...

•Hi All, I have found an old gutted Seeburg orchestrion case for sale. It looks like it is (was) a KT. If I bought this, would there be any chance of finding enough parts out there to put it back together? I suppose the plate would the hardest thing to find. Benjamin Haass

•Hello Members, Anyone know of where there might be an original, reasonably priced, unaltered Seeburg KT for sale? An unrestored instrument is preferred. The KTs I have found in this past year have been missing motors, coin equipment, half of the doors, in non-original cabinets, etc. I realize that ...
