FS: Dave Young Musical Box Collection
By Craig Smith

Hi Folks,  Some of you might have noticed the obituary in the MBSI
Journal about my friend Dave Young.  Dave died almost four months ago
and his wife asked me to help her sell some of Dave's collection of
music boxes and books.  Most of the books are gone but I still have
a lot of MBSI Journals going back about 30+ years.  I have posted
pictures of about 15 music boxes of various sorts on a web page.

Since it's a Yahoo Groups page, you'll need an ID and Password to see
them.  If you send me an e-mail at the address above, I'll give you the
ID and password so you can go to Yahoo and see them without joining
Yahoo.  If you already have a Yahoo account, you can go directly to
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/CastlewoodOrganKits/photos/albums/609864634 
and view them directly with your own ID.

Here's a list of most of what's there.  They're a bit dusty but most
are in good shape.  Many have already been restored and some are rather
interesting.
