Here is some more info on the fish pole in question > Richard: > The Aeolian-Hammond player organ is an electric Hammond organ which has a > pneumatic playing assembly added. The tracker bar has 120 ports, which is 12 > ports per inch, so you can see tracking is very important. The fish pole > tracker assembly is located to the right of the roll housing. There are two > ears which ride against the roll edges. The question I was asking was how > are the ears adjusted. One member said the left ear should be the dominant > one. You seem to agree with him. > I am in the process of recovering all pneumatics, replacing tubing, and > general adjustments. Presently I am trying to locate an Aeolian-Hammond test > roll. I may have to create one, if I can't purchase one. > Thanks for your response! >From previous correspondence, It has been described as a fish pole wind up type. I have described my Simplex player fish pole and he says its similar to his. Simplex is on the left though. Having never seen an Aeolian-Hammond player organ, this is where one picture is worth a thousand words. Richard Moody
