It takes a good restorer who knows what they are doing and can make quick repairs to keep things up until the next scheduled overhaul.
Fortunately, since most of the "fantasy music machines" at HOTR are fakes which mime along with a synthesizer, many of these can get by with very little maintenance since a few pneumatic devices not working won't hamper the sound in the least :D
The Mikado, however, actually plays. Only it's sitar and giant sheng are non-functional props.
" the Aida" Music box was off too... and the Organ room was shut down for repairs... the only working "room" was a few of the music boxes and the Red room lol
I now have Treasures checked out and can look at the scale. It is 92-keyless and uses the same paper width and hole spacing as Coinola O-rolls (and probably uses an O-roll frame), but the note layout is based on the 84-key Mortier scale with 8 bass, etc. There are 12 pipe registers, including for bass ranks not normally on register, due to the unusual new windchest construction. There is also a register for the xylophone and one for the tremolo, as well as 14 holes for percussion effects.

Tear in roll at 1:37 Thats why they changed the rolls. Harem bells is not a good arrangement. I like the new roll posted by Wurlitzer157.

Oh Dear, it sounds like the roll might be ripped a little bit, and the register unit is malfunctioning...

They changed the rolls to play something else. This roll might have some rips.

This is a great sounding Mortier band organ.
