FS: Aeolian Orchestrelle Model V
By Paul Burt

I purchased a 1904 model "V" pressure type last October only to
realize that it was probably a donor unit.  It is a beautiful piece
of furniture in light mahogany, with most parts, but I am tired of
looking and paying for the parts I need.  I have been doing this type
of work all my life, but I am now too old and too broke to continue.

I would like to sell the entire unit for what I have invested in it,
which is $1,200.00, or I will use the furniture as a bar or to house
my TV.  In these economic times things change and I don't care to pile
lot of money into a hobby.  If you know where to find parts or have
them this would be a good find.

A directory or club would be a good idea, where we could all help
each other in restoration and maintenance of these units.

Paul Burt

P.S.: Restoration on the keybed, spoolbox, etc., has been completed.
