FS: Gulbransen Recordo
By John Phillips

This will really be of interest only to MMDers in Oz.  An electric player
piano was advertised in the local (Tasmanian) paper on Saturday.  I
'phoned up, expecting the usual vacuum cleaner pump added to a clapped
out pedal player, and was told it was a Gulbransen and it had always had
an electric motor, and yes, there were 5 long slots at each end of the
tracker bar.

I haven't seen the piano, it's out of town, but it sounds identical to
mine.  If so it has a screwed together stack, is straightforward to work
on, and plays very well, with the really responsive Motor Player
expression unit.

Asking price is a very hopeful $2600, but that's just the valuation
somebody put on the player some years ago.  The owner knows it's only
worth what someone is prepared to pay.

John Phillips,  Hobart Tasmania.
