FS: 84-key Mortier (mailed announcement)
By Robbie Rhodes

Philippe Rouille in Paris has mailed advertisements to prospective buyers 
announcing the auction sale next week of an 84-key Mortier Dance Organ.  
The auction will be held 12 April 1996, in Chambery, in the French Alps.
He says that several people have already expressed interest, even though 
the instrument needs a "serious restoration".  They estimate it will sell 
for $60000 to $80000 USD.

Serious bidders might telephone Philippe in Paris for more details.  He 
requests that email not be sent to him regarding this auction, because his 
Internet e-mail service provider is a non-profit organization which does 
not permit commercial activities.

Philippe's address is given in the GSM membership list, Summer 1995, as:

        Rouille, Philippe
        11, Rue du Bouloi
        F-75001 Paris
        tel: 0033-1-42361025
