Another place to look is the Theatre Organ site on the web at:

    http://pentium.wcbi.com:80/organs/ads/wtsell.htm

They have a long list of classifieds, both buy and sell.  Most of the stuff
is electronic garbage, but there is a fair amount of real organ stuff in
there.  One ad currently listed is:

> WTS:Aeolian-Skinner residence player pipe organ
>
> "HISTORIC 1933 AEOLIAN-SKINNER residence player organ, op. 902, 2m,
> M I, M II, Ped, all enc., 8 ranks, including French Horn and Flute Celeste.
> Excellent condition. Chest preparations for 2 additional stops. Hand carved
> ornate console in near mint condition! Includes numerous player rolls of
> famous organists including Dupre. (Player mechanism needs work.) Easy
> removal. Asking $15,500. (402)476-9933, 1-4 pm CDT, M-F."
>
> Asking: $15,500

> Jack M. Levick
> Lincoln, , NE USA
> Phone: (402) 476-9933

A little out of my price range, but it sounds like a fine machine to me!
