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

is 12

pole

two

>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.
