Al's third nickelodeon, a fine Cremona style 10 M-roll orchestrion with two ranks of pipes, triangle, and tambourine, obtained from a barber shop down the street in the early days of collecting. It still played fairly well into the mid-1960s with its original tubing, cloth, and leather!

Seeburg Style G.

Al's first Seeburg G shortly after being moved into the bar room. With its original cloth-wrapped tubing still in place, the machine looked almost like new.

Al and Flo made a happy couple.
