FS: Nelson-Wiggen Style 6T with Target Game
By Bob Stewart

For sale: a Nelson-Wiggen Style 6T orchestrion with target game.
This machine has been rebuilt and refinished. It contains a piano
with banjo attachment, xylophone, bass drum, snare drum, cymbal,
triangle, tympany, castanets and Indian block. In addition, it
has the A.B.T. target game. The piano plays 61 notes and takes
a standard "G" or "4X" roll. One Reblitz "G" roll comes with the
machine.

This machine has an interesting history as it was stolen from
a collector in Iowa. It was identified as stolen by a couple of
collectors when it was in a California auction. They informed
the owner.

The FBI got involved, the bad guys were arrested and the machine
was returned to the owner in Iowa. The whole adventure was
documented by the owner and the history package will stay with
the machine.

The machine is priced at $10,000 USD and is located in Denton,
Texas. Pictures available on request.
