Instruments and Phonographs For Sale
By Kenneth Keeton

In case you didn't see this, here's an article that appeared today in
various for-sale newsgroups.  I thought parts of it might be of 
interest to readers of our list.  Maybe you can edit out parts that
are inappropriate (isn't there already an antique phonographs list?)

 [ Editor's note:  I'm enclosing the following "ad" because it does
 [ contain quite a number of things that our readers might find
 [ interesting.  Kenneth Keeton is definitely doing these
 [ postings for "commercial" rather than "hobby" purposes.  Unless I
 [ get flack from our readers, I will forward postings from him h
 [ occasionally, since he does seem to have a lot of relevant stuff.
 [ I have no idea what his business practices or prices are like.
 [ Jody
