Source of Orchestrion Spool Frames
By Rick McDowell

This is in response to Matthew Caulfield's question about Cooper
spool frames.  There is a man in California that is making spool frames
identical to Cooper with several enhancements/improvements.  I see them
show up once in awhile on eBay.

The man's name that sells them is Don and his email address is
<Rughx3@compuserve.com>.  The person that builds the spool frames is
Larry Reichert who is a friend of Don's.

I have asked Don in the past if Larry would be interested in building
quality Wurlitzer valve blocks.  Maybe a could of more people could put
a bug in his ear to do this.  If you would like to have their phone
numbers, you can contact me at <rickm7331@aol.com>
