Photoplayers wanted!
If you have or know of an old dilapidated musical instrument known as a photoplayer, sometimes called a fotoplayer or “pit organ”, and usually having a piano and one or two attached side cabinets… especially one in bad shape… don’t throw it out! Even if it is in what appears to be junk condition, or is missing most of the parts, or is merely a pile of parts, don’t junk it! Gutted piano portions, music rolls (“Filmusic” etc), case parts, random organ pipes, percussion effects and actions, pneumatic and mechanical parts, and complete instruments will all be considered. Even the simple twin-roll player pianos or self-contained piano/organ combination instruments (without attached side cabinets) are of interest to me.
I am interested in any of these instruments, from makers such as American Photo Player Company, Wurlitzer, Seeburg, Coinola Reproduco, Cremona, North Tonawanda Musical Instrument Works AKA Capitol Piano and Organ Co, Gulbransen, Watson, Bartola, etc.

Boston area projectors - free!
Howdy all,
I have some projectors free for the pick-up.
I haven’t tried to use them; I’m assuming they’ll take some real work to get going. Maybe you have a mansion or lobby you’re looking to spruce up with old behemoths.
Sorry, no sound equipment.2 small 35mm (black) RCA Photophone projectors with carbon arc lamphouses & projector bases. These were working for a collector 10 years ago, but they’re in rough shape, in need of full restoration if you want to run film in them.
