FS: Price & Teeple Player in Philadelphia
By Larry Toto

There is a Schaeffer Symphonol'a Upright with a Price & Teeple player
for sale in the area just north of Philadelphia (Fairless Hills, PA).
It was advertised in the Philadelphia Inquirer for a few days.  It
looks to me like it is in unrestored condition.  All tubing is brittle.
The finish is severely checkered.  There is one chip on one keytop.
The bottom-most 15 notes sound muddy.

This might make a good project for someone.  The owners were saying
"make an offer".  I can't take on another project.  It comes with 117
rolls, a dozen or so without boxes.

Please email me if you are interested.  I have no personal interest in
the transaction (financial or otherwise).  This thing may end up on a
trash heap like so many other players.  The owner says he took a sledge
hammer to his father's piano many years ago, thinking it was worthless.
His father flipped out.
