For Sale on the Internet Items
By David Dewey

Once again into the fray: pianos to be saved, and rolls this time!

  http://www.mmdigest.com/ForSaleOnTheInternet.html 
  Submitted for the 161023 MMDigest

* Howard "Manualo" upright player piano -- in Bloomfield, IN, $20
now (this piano has been listed before).  Original crazed finish, some
electric switches added to transmission (maybe vacuum motor added?)

* Marshall (Chicago) player piano -- Apparently sold already.

* Player piano, restored and electrified -- $350 upright in Chambana
(state?) [Champaign-Urbana, Illinois], "rebuilt in 1980s", vacuum motor
added and pedals removed, 60+ rolls and bench included.  Some blemishes
in top, antique mirror goes with it (?)

* Lot of 300-400 old piano rolls -- in Toronta, IA, area.  $20 for the
lot, no pictures.  Ad has run for a month, so...

* Lowery (Aeolian?) console player piano with rolls -- in Ramona, CA
(San Diego area), $ 160 with 23 Aeolian rolls.  Nice pecan(?) finish,
typical console 1970s piano with matching bench, looks well-cared for.

* Player piano tracker bar pump -- $10 in El Cajon, CA.

* Needham player piano + rolls -- $250 in San Diego County, CA.  "Early
1900 player piano with 30+ scrolls everything works".  Appears to have
a natural wood finish on a piano that was probably Black; none of the
wood matches!  Unrefinished bench in photos, may be rebuilt?  Someone
spent time stripping and finishing the case.

* Fisher player piano + rolls -- In La Mesa, CA.  Strange light-colored
wood (lousy pics) with Fisher logo decal intact, but he's asking
$2200 OBO.  I don't think the seller is familiar with players,
the piano appears to be in some sort of storage area.

This is the best I can tell from the pictures, you should inspect
carefully before saving these pianos!
