Recordo Expression Box
By John Phillips
In the Digest of 18.04.96 (Australian Date-writing Style!), Steve Harder enquires whether anyone has plans of an expression box from a Recordo player. Well, I haven't got plans, Steve, but I have a spare expression box. It is an Electora model A, serial no. 8795, made by the Motor Player Co. of Chicago. It's effectively the same box as is in my Gulbransen, where it works very well. However this box is longer and skinnier than mine; it's dimensions, not including legs, knobs and other protusions, are 37 cm by 16 cm by 8 cm. The legs or support brackets are pretty rusty but the thing seems intact. It looks as if it has never been tinkered with. It comes out of a battered old Recordo player I bought years ago with the idea of turning it into a Recordo-C player. In the end a piano tuner friend persuaded me he needed the piano more than I did, so that was the end of that project. If your friend wants it Steve, it's available in return for a few rolls or something.
John Phillips.
