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...
Does anyone know where I can get plans for a 105 tracker bar. I found a link a while back but can't find it again. Any help would be appreciated. thanks Bob...
Hey guys Check out the Puncher that I finished recently on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knKslbbYao8 I just acquired a Player Piano to rebuild, so I...
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,...
Thank you Berley The paper is Automotive Masking Paper, it seems to work really well. There is very few purchased parts. Most were cannibalized from old ...
I would want to know the acid content of that masking paper. Most brown paper these days is highly acid and has a shelf life of about 10 years. Many of the...
The masking paper I'm using now is of the green variety, as suggested by Ed Gaida. I want to find a supply of dry waxed paper that I can buy in small...
Following Doug's recent comment about paper acidity, I did a quick search and found this:- http://scrapbookcritic.com/2005-07-25.htm . There appear to be...

... Hi Bob. I've got an original off of a 15*, and it's an 11" high-center cymbal. Go to http://www.carousels.com/ where Dr. Bill Black has a bunch of good...
Hi Bob, Check the Files section on this site for the series of article I did on building the cymbal beater. I use a commercial 12" cymbal but Dana Johnson has...
... Mine is 11", but I'm not sure at all if it's the original size. It's mounted in front of the Bass Drum and it looks proportional to the 17" drum. I had to...
Nothing from Rany yet. I guess your limited to the number of questions he will answer........... This is what I got from some one who bought his plans-- forget...
Hi, Bob. I've got his plans, too, but they're not the only plans out there! The Carousel.com site I pointed out to you before has another set of plans, by...
Hi Bob What is IIRC 14 "chapters" ? Bob ... From: Bob Loesch To: wurlitzer105b@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, November 08, 2008 10:00 PM Subject: Re:...
... Simply a shorthand for "if I recall correctly".... I don't have the information right at hand, but I do have it on disc. I save all of the information I...
A small correction. The web site is www.carousels.com . There are 14 "chapters" of an article I wrote describing how I built a 105. The photos are rather small...
Something is wrong with the bhumesaol link in this message. Please re-post with the correction. Thanks. Jack ... on the Files menu item on the left and then...
Jack, Sorry for the confusion. I didn't intend for bhumesaol to be a link. Only a reference to help memebers find the PDF files and additonal folders...
