    Very cool. We have a player piano that’s pump operated at my moms house. So fascinating seeing all these variations and even more complex instruments. So sad every time you said it’s probably the only one left or don’t even know if there is one left. Wish our world was more interested in preservation. So many amazing inventions and things are lost to time.

    There was an Air Training Corps hut in a park near where I lived in London. There was a Link Trainer inside.

    Delightful! I'm amazed by the way these people figured out what they wanted to accomplish, and worked out how to make everything work beautifully. Thank you for sharing!

    This is the same Link family that built the Link Trainers.

    Wiki says link built around a 130 theater pipe organs. Anyone know if any survived? Just curious. There was endless roll player at the winchester mystery house in san jose ca. Not sure if it's still there. They always attract attention because folks are sure the roll will get tangled up somehow, lol. Never seen it happen though. Also, as a boy, got to fly/ride in a link trainer on the former fort-ord military base back in the mid sixites during armed forces day. They had a room with a few of them that were enclosed for teaching instrument flight letting kids have a go. I'll never forget it. Cheers!

      About 5 or 6 Link theater organs still exist, not sure how many are playable. Interesting thing about the Link organs is they use air pressure only for things that need it - pipes.
      All the other action is by vacuum, like the pianos - swell shutters, relay action, percuasion, etc-

      @@charlesking6800 Vacuum for control. Hmm.Interesting. They had the know-how and materials? Quick to put into production and turn a profit without engineering new things like the competition had? That's about the only reason I can figure. Cheers and thanks for reply. 👍

    Great piano Rusty! Can you tell me the song that is played after you put the dime in the first piano, thanks!

      I think that's Gra-Na-Da #5 on Link RX roll 15236. BTW the music on the closing credits is played by my Style 2E and is a good example of Ray Deyo's arranging work.
