FS: Unusual Kimball Player in Pennsylvania
By Joseph Osborne

I was recently asked to evaluate a Kimball player for repair and
rebuilding.  The piano was in very bad shape and I advised against
doing anything with it.  However, the player unit appears intact.

It is such an unusual unit that I thought I would post to see if anyone
wants it for parts for another restoration.  The bellows lie flat under
the keybed and the spoolbox sits high, at the top of the front board.
Passing strange, I thought, and probably rare.

I expect the piano will be junked.  If anyone wants the player unit (or
the whole instrument), please contact me and I will make arrangements.

Thanks,
