I recently purchased a number of machines. One of them was this Symphonia Paper Organ. It is in great condition and plays very loud. I can't figure out how to re-wind the roll. I would think the main crank needs to be disengaged to allow the smaller crank to re-wind the roll. I would appreciate any advice on this. The two rolls that came with it look to be newer. I would also like to find more rolls.
Thanks!! Ken

Re: Symphonia Paper Organ
Ken,
I think there's a toggle to the left of the rear pulley assembly that you need to flip to disengage the rear spool. It's just a small, L-shaped rod. Once the rear spool is disengaged, you should be able to rewind the music roll onto the front spool.

Grant,
Thanks for the reply. I didn't see the toggle you mentioned. But, I did notice there is a slotted wooden piece that can be slid forward to disengage the gears. The roll is rewound and now the search goes on for more rolls.
