Hi there Listers.

Just a few things from the UK.

I did say I would let people know of any thing of interest in any sales
here in England, Well the last Christies sale was a bit disappointing
unless you like Phonographs, of which there were a lot. One thing there
was which I had not seen before was an Apollophone Player piano
upright. by Melville Clark of Chicago, Seemed to be a standard 88 note
player with a door to the left of the spool box opening to reveal the
turntable for the phonograph.

Perhaps Jody can tell us how many list readers there are now.

 [ Editor's Note:  approximately 295 !

My Collard & Collard Ampico upright is now in working order and playing
quite nicely. I must find some more rolls for it.

There now follows a blatant advert...

For sale, Stella 17 inch double comb musical box on stand in working
order.  Price 2800 GB pounds. Can ship anywhere.

Also, Hopkinson Ampico grand player in reasonable unrestored condition
with matching duet stool. Price 1500 GB pounds.

All the best from the UK.
