4. They had one at the first Olde Spagetti Factory in Seattle back in 1972/73.

Not as large as the one shown, but it did have a "fiddle", a whistle of some sort, another wind instrument (or two - I don't remember), and a full percussion set along with the player piano portion. Drop a quarter in the slot, and it played for a good 3 - 5 minutes. The first restaurant isn't there any more, wonder if it's still in one of the others.

6. Yikes - what a toe tapper!

No, not a toe tapper - the fullness of the sound makes me want to jump out of my seat. And what a wonderful guy - great sense of humor, you can tell.

I gotta send this to my 3rd cousin who used to build organs. Amazing - thanks for posting.

7. Cool. Like the background music in old slapstick comedy movies.
