Seek Electric Lights For Hupfeld Unioliszt Piano
By Niels Berkers

Hi MMDers,  The restoration of my Hupfeld Unioliszt is well on the way.
The piano part is nearly finished.  The case will be ebonized.  The
piano still has the brass mountings where the original electric lights
with glass bead strings went.  The lights are missing, though.

I was wondering if anybody might have a pair for sale?  Any type with
a single hinge point will do, like the ones on my Phonoliszt (picture
attached).  I would prefer unrestored ones.

The missing beads are no problem as I want to put new ones on to match
the colors in my music studio.  If I can't find any I'll try to modify
a pair of candle holders.

Kind regards from The Netherlands,
Niels Berkers
