   Hallo listers,   
      
   We have a problem: Our church build in 1300's has a Carillon (  Bells,   
   Glockenspiel) of 16   
   bells that used to play every hour on the hour  a hymn for three minutes.   
      
   Every bell has an solenoid actuator that strikes the bell; this mechanical   
   component   
   seems to be o.k..   
      
    The problem seems to be in the old fashioned hole card driver, which we would   
   like to   
   replace with an electronic one. Seems to me if one can buy a phone  with   
   thousands of   
   songs :-) we should be able to programm a basic computer  to do the job.   the   
   problem   
   would be the interface between the computer and the current drawing solenoids.   
      
   Any of the shelf componends available or any advice how we could go about it?   
      
   Thank you very much , H. Rode
