Value of Chein PianoLodeon
By Jim Quashnock

I picked one of these up about 3 years ago for $75 after a lot of
haggling.  It did not play well and one of the tone bars was broken.
It did have a box of 6 rolls.  I've replaced the missing tone bar,
cleaned it up, and it "sort of" plays.  Not very loud.  But then,
I've never seen another operating one, so don't know what one should
sound like.  It's got more motor noise than tune !

I saw another one in Dallas (expensive place to shop) for around
$250-$300 and I don't know if it worked.  The price being asked on
the one your looking at sounds a bit high.  Let's see what other
folks think.
