Introduction
By Geir Asskildt

Hi Jody, thanks for putting me on the mailing list.  I'd like to tell you
a few words about myself.

I am 42 years old and live in Oslo, Norway, and I work in the product and
marketing department at Telenor, which is Norway's largest distributor of
telecom equipment.  I am married with one daughter 9 years old.

I have been collecting jukeboxes and arcade games for several years, but
I live in a small house and my wife is quite fed up with these big
jukeboxes!  I sold most of them and have only 3 left, two in my living
room and one upstairs.  Two are working.

I also have a Kriebenola player piano, which is not playing for the time
being.  All the bellows are stuck; that is, the fabric is stiff like
cardboard.  I bought new fabric from Pedals, Pumpers and Rolls in
Batavia, Illinois.  They have a lot of player pianos and are very nice to
do business with.  I have been there looking at their inventory and it is
huge.  They restore pianos and also sell parts.

I am looking for a Tanzbar accordion, which seems to be quite hard to
find.  I found one in Australia, but it was too expensive.  I'll try
later.

I'll send you some lines later if this email is successful.

Best regards for now,

Geir Asskildt
