FS: Automatic Musical Company Coin Piano
By Rich Huber

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

I recently rescued an old player piano that was next to a dumpster by
an old building that is being renovated.  It's called a New Improved
Grand Scale repeating action made by Automatic Musical Co. of Binghamton,
New York, serial no. 17556.

It came with its original bench and is all in original condition.
It has a coin slot and a large beveled glass front the entire width
of the piano.  It has a paper roll in it but it is torn.

What do I have here?  How old is it?  What to do with it now?  Does
anyone want to acquire this from me?  I have it stored in a nice dry
location.  I want it to be in a good home.  Call any time.

Thanks,
Rich Huber
