Kalliope Horse Racing Panorama
By Mark Singleton

-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMD --

I recently bought a large Kalliope disc box with Horse Racing Panorama.
I would very much like to see pictures of other examples, purely for
comparison.  My instrument appears to have spent its working life in
Mexico.  Although now missing, under ultra-violet light it's possible
to see the following text on the front door glass:

  Unicos Introductores Aug. Maroky & Cia Cordoba 830 Rosario.

The mechanism is in beautiful order, playing quite superbly, having
been overhauled around 20 to 25 years ago.  The case I believe to be
totally original, but in need of a little gentle tender loving care.

If anybody has any spare Kalliope discs of 25" (63.5 cm) that I could
purchase for this machine, I would really like to hear from them.
Thank you.

Mark Singleton
