Hello. I'm trouble shooting a Model 180 with a roll player that isn't working. The reporting from the organist at the church is that the motor is bad. Is there a manual I can obtain demonstrating the disassembly of the cabinet and test points for the motor. Are there motors available if it is in fact no longer functional?
Hi Jim, I’m sorry but I have no information for you. The only manuals I have ever encountered merely explain the operating procedures. I don’t know anything about the motor, either. Perhaps someone out there knows of or has a service manual? Especially now that the Schulmerich’s carillon division has been sold, getting any information about these older systems is a challenge. I wish I could be more helpful!
There are rods of two different varieties on this system, switchable at the control cabinet. The speed is a matter of taste, but it is not controllable. I will say that my college had the same system and the speed worked out well because there were many neighboring buildings, so lots of echoes. Any faster and it would have been chaos!
No, only Westminster. I don’t know whether Schulmerich offered any other chimes at the time this was made. One consideration might have been the number of notes in the sequence (Whittington has twice as many) as every strike was generated by a hard-wired contact that had to fit on the coder disc.
That depends. When set to “English” bells it uses 10 rods (four notes with their octaves for the melody, and a fifth rod with its octave for the hour). When set to “Flemish” bells it uses 20 rods, because each note is created by two rods struck simultaneously. The whole system (with the keyboard) is 319 bells, seven different types.
That is excellent!!!!! I wish I had that setup next to my bed in my own bedroom!
I think every home should have a carillon! :)
@@rickruggiero7128 you know it man!

@@rickruggiero7128 can it play Whittington chimes too
