PowerRoll Delivery Status
from Eliot Lee •I was one of the many who jumped on the bandwagon and preordered, when Larry said that he would double the cost of his PowerRoll. He should not have taken preorders if he knew of the delay. I think the fellow who designed the boards died which started the domino effect. What I have issue with is no... |

PowerRoll Delivery Status
from Wayne Tougher •I have been reading the posts in MMD for a while now and continue to see Mr. Broadmoore be pushed and shoved around about not delivering his product. Actually, I am not really into these things and don't even know how involved what he is making really is but, there is something that I do know: In d... |

PowerRoll Technical Problems
from Mark Kinsler •I've been reading this thread with some interest, I suppose because I have spent a lot of time in casual research and development of electromechanical devices over the years. I'd be glad to lend such help as is appropriate, but I'll need to know a few things: 1. What is a PowerRoll, i.e., what does... |

PowerRoll Investors
from Paul Eggert •I am kinda new to this newsletter, and know nothing about the PowerRoll. However, I do have a few comments about the recent excuses being made for the guy. It sounds to me like Larry didn't take the risks, his customers did. They unwittingly became the funders of the enterprise (or maybe of somethi... |

PowerRoll Delivery Status
from Andy Taylor •Wayne Tougher wrote in the 020417 MMD, "In days gone by when someone needed help to get something done his friends would help him out (not with money necessarily but with labor and maybe a little encouragement)." I never seen it put more honestly than that! Thank you Mr. Tougher! Now honestly guys ... |

PowerRoll Delivery Status
from Randolph Herr •Wayne Tougher really hit the nail on the head in his article about helping Larry Broadmoore. I have known Larry for many years, and have no doubts about his intelligence and honesty. I am willing to loan Larry a few thousand dollars if it will help him to start delivery of the PowerRoll. I know tha... |

PowerRoll Delivery Status
from Eric Shoemaker •I would like to thank Wayne Tougher for his encouraging thoughts to Larry Broadmoore. I know that there are many enthusiasts still waiting for their PowerRoll units to be delivered, but look at the history of PianoDisc in Sacramento CA: they initially shipped "unfinished incomplete" units to dealer... |

PowerRoll Delivery Status
from Eliot Lee •In response to Andy Taylor [020418 MMD], I had no problem supporting Larry Broadmoore and I have stated earlier that I am willing to wait patiently however long it takes. I am sure all of you would not just throw away $1500 and be happy with that. I did because he was planning on doubling the cost ... |

PowerRoll Status
from Larry Broadmoore •I just now had a chance to review the many postings about the PowerRoll. Due to financial and time constraints and stress problems, I can't check email every day. In retrospect it has become obvious that my ability to estimate time and duration of work has in recent years suffered serious distortio... |

PowerRoll Status
from Donald Dusenbury •I read the comments every day and have read with interest the thoughts on the PowerRoll. Eric Shoemaker made mention of the PianoDisc's commitment to make things right. Eliot Lee mentioned throwing away $1500. There has been mention of support. There has been mention of praise and disappointment. I... |

PowerRoll Status
from Eliot Lee •Hello, I was pleasantly surprised to get a phone call from Larry Broadmoore today, I guess because I complained about not hearing from him. He said of most of his returns, the Duo-Art player which requires the most air pressure causes the most problems. According to him he could use more help, so I... |

PowerRoll vs. Solenoid Piano
from Michael Waters •-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD -- I am having all sorts of fun playing my PianoDisc system (that I purchased from Peter Phillips, Sydney) while I await the rebuild of my Knabe Ampico. Being an owner of both a solenoid piano and the PowerRoll (installed on my upright Marshall & We... |

Seek PowerRoll in the UK
from Steve Greatrex •Hi MMD'rs, I have been looking at the PowerRoll web site and reading the items on the MMD and would like to know if anyone in the UK has one yet. I have the opportunity to buy an Ampico upright and have no Ampico rolls, but as I have been collecting Duo-Art rolls for years I now have a storage prob... |

Music Roll vs. PowerRoll
from Spencer Chase •The PowerRoll does not produce an inferior performance compared to paper rolls. In fact, the opposite is true. A new original roll in perfect condition could be expected to play the notes evenly but there are none of these today and there are few, if any, recuts that are exact copies of the origina... |

Broadmoore PowerRoll in the UK
from Steve Greatrex •Dear MMD'rs, Has anyone in the UK purchased a PowerRoll system and got it up and running? If so I'd like to hear from you (I'm quite keen to get one but would like to hear one first). Many Thanks Steve Greatrex Plymouth (UK) |

Broadmoore PowerRoll
from Vic Marsilio •Greetings, List! I have heard about a device/attachment called a PowerRoll that attaches to a player piano, thus making it MIDI adaptable, as well as play pre-encoded (recorded) computer disks. I was telling a friend who has a 7' Mason & Hamlin with an Ampico A Reproducer about it and now we are bo... |

MIDI & PowerRoll for Aeolian Orchestrelle Organ
from Gary Peterford •If anyone who has an Orchestrelle organ and wants to add a PowerRoll System, it can be done. Several tests were made with the pressure model PowerRoll inside of the spool box and it works great. The system is not cheap but with a few more interested people, the price goes down. If interested, conta... |
