FS: DeKleist 155 Monster Band Organ
By Gordon Forcier

Hi Y'all,  Well, I knew things were to good to be true.  It is with
deepest regret that I must part with my Monster.  Actually, it is both
my father's and mine, and since he fell ill and is in a nursing home,
we must sell it to pay for the nursing home care.

The organ has been all reworked and is now to the playing point, though
it does need tuning.  It is currently playing the 87-key B.A.B. roll
format with 9 rolls.  I was going to put the organ back to its original
100-key roll format, but with the other organs that I am involved in
restoring, I don't have the time to build the roll frame.

I am selling the organ at $80,000.00 or best offer.  I just want to
break even on this venture and I am sure that the organ will find a
nice home.  We were going to have a new cabinet made for the organ
since the original was missing, but alas, Dad had to fall ill.  The
bass drum is currently in Chicago getting a new head made for it.
