question - can I keep my organ in my garage for the Minnesota winter or should I bring it in the house? Which is worse - cold temps or the inside low...

Hi Bob. I have a duplex set of home-brew 165 frames which I'm putting into a home-brew band organ. Since the 165, 150, 125 (105) and APP roll frames were...
... Hi Bob. Here are a few shots of the frames, which are not, as yet, installed in the organ. The first shows both of the frames (not side by side, but...

My humblest apologies! I had meant for that BUNCH of posts to be private, but didn't check the address before sending. Mea culpa! Bob Loesch northern...

Tom What did you use for a tracker bar? I shouldn't have a problem making the frame but I'm not sure about the tracker bar. Thanks Bob ... From: mnbandorgan ...
Hi Bob. Both Russ Doering and Gordon Forcier make tracker bars, interchangeable with original Wurlitzer ones. Alternatively, you might find one from someone...
I got my tracker bar from Player Piano - years ago. Russ commented that it's a nice one - square holes and all. I wouldn't hurt to give them a call. Tom ... ...
There's nothing in an organ that will be hurt by low temperatures, but very low humidity, such as you get when you apply central heating to sub-zero air is...
One thing that I do is to put a few clothes dryer strips in the organ. This will keep out any mice that may be around. For some reason, they don't like the...
Has anyone heard anything from Randy Charles of Alien Aircraft? He is the one selling the CD of plans for the 105. I purchased a CD from him and have been in...
Hi, Bob. GREAT name, by the way! ";-) I've been in contact with Randy right along, in my roll punch project, and he's always answered, but sometimes has...
I think that's a great idea. I am starting a 105 and when ever it is finished I would like to build a roll puncher. I also have his plans for that. ... From:...
His latest plans are for a puncher wide enough to punch 11-1/4" piano rolls. I've measured the hole diameter of Wurlitzer rolls, 88-note piano rolls, and the...

Hi Jim. Randy's plans now include measurements to make the carriage wide enough to punch piano rolls. That's the size I'm building. I'll have to wait until...
... I've done a bit of thinking about the hole size of the rolls, and the size of punch suggested in Randy's plans. I've measured the hole size of the three...
I would not expect the use of the small 9 per inch (88-note) hole to work on most instruments using a 6 to the inch 65 note scales. Being a rebuilder, I see...
Hello Doug. I had suspected something like that, but have found 65-note piano rolls (which seem to play just fine on my Orchestrelle) that had the small...
Jim, what a beautiful piece of machinery!! Two questions: Where did you get that nice paper? And, if you don't think it too crass, about how much was spent,...
