Hi all you MMD ers,

I like the thought that there should be more on musical boxes in the
MMD (if thats wot it should be) So hears a bit of news over the last
week. A guy gave me a tip about an old feller who had some Polyphon
parts in his loft on the Isle of Man (Twixt England and Ireland) I
happend to be going so I looked him up and the upshot is that I am now
looking for an empty case for a 50cm Polyphon upright. Its a shame
realy cause I have another friend who is also looking for one. I bet I
find one first.

Had a call to-day offering me a large PVF Cylinder musical box with 16
inch cylinder but no tune sheet. I bought it over the phone and will
see it next week.  I wonder if I will be happy or sad next week.

If anyone is interested, There is an auction next week in which there
is a Late George 3rd Mahogany barrel organ by Longman & Brodenf on a
stand with perhaps four, ten tune barrels. I may have been interested
myself but I have one already.

All the best.¶
