Photoplayer
By John Weismantel

Re: MMD 000918

Dear Roger,
   I read with interest about your "find" of the photoplayer. I am
attempting to rebuild one of only two known Style 50 Fotoplayer's which
resides at Mastertouch Piano Roll Company in Sydney, Australia, and
which has been substantially altered in the distant past (before
Mastertouch got hold of it !). I would be very interested in any photos
you have as I am trying to determine what this original organ pneumatic
action looked like ( only one of the many unknowns with this
instrument). Unfortunately Aust is a bit far away for me to take a quick
visit for a look-see so any information you could supply would be
gratefully received.

Cheers for now,
John Weismantel
"Olympic" City, Australia
