This instrument was built in our shops at London Ontario in the 1980's We made over 20 of this model orchestrion which were sold to collectors, and various resteraunts all over the world.

We can also install a MIDI system which will allow the instrument to play computer midi files as well as the paper music roll, We do have midi filesof such famous companies as :Link, Wurlitzer, Seeburg, Philipps, Weber to name a few.
We recently purchased back one of these instruments from a home in Northern Quebec. It had originally been sold to a resteraunt chain in Ontario called "Bib & Tucker"
It is now ready for a full restoration and is also being offered for sale either as is unrestored for $8,500.00 or restored to YOUR choice of instruments etc. Cost once restored will be in the area of $35,000.00 to 40,000.00 depending on the exact configuration and instruments included. for example we have in the past installed a real mandolin which would appear to be playing the notes as the Mandolin attachement on the piano did the real work. This mandolin was actually owned by that customers father, so everytime it played it brought back great memories. Please feel free to call or email with your ideas. Ron
