Auction at the "Organ Grinder" Restaurant
By Colin Hinz

Here's more complete info on the auction. There actually isn't a lot
more info related to musical instruments, sad to say. Much of the ad is
devoted to an inventory of the restaurant equipment. Yes, in case
you're wondering, this auction house specialises in industrial and
commercial bankruptcies. Thus, bidding on the instruments could be
completely haywire: amazing bargoons or else "antique collectors"
paying ludicrous fortunes for unimpressive old stuff.

Mirrors, Instruments, etc; blah blah blah movie posters blah blah blah
neon beer signs blah blah blah.

===================

So there you go! If I manage to get from the auctioneers a more
complete list of the musical instruments, I'll send it only to
interested parties (not to the Digest).
