The Seeburg Model J orchestrion located in the Bale of Hay Saloon
in Virginia City, Montana, in 1960. Note the beautiful capitol dome
art-glass. Harvey and Marion Roehl traveled each summer and visited
many mechanical music collections all over the world. One of their
favorite stops was the Bovey Restoration at Virginia City and Nevada
City, Montana, the lifetime restoration project of Charley and Sue
Bovey, where a large collection of coin pianos, orchestrions and
band organs could be seen and played by the public. Sitting on top
of the Seeburg J orchestrion is a Deagan Una-Fon, an electro-mechanically
operated set of orchestral bells.
