FS: 65-note Pushup Player in UK
By Dan Wilson, London

A UK item:  65-note Orchestrelle Co (Aeolian) flat-top pushup for sale.
It plays and was allegedly repaired eight years ago.  Automotive hoses
are visible within.  The finger felts are original and very rough.  The
plunger rods work sideways instead of up and down (meant for uprights?).

The loud pedal gear is complete but the leg crank is missing and the
shop owner (also the pushup owner) says he thinks the leg worms are
stripped.

It's a Themodist one without saying so, with a non-original grained
finish, and I date it at late 1906 or early 1907.  Asking price with
two boxes of rolls:  =L= 525.

Contact "IOU" (name of the shop) [int. +44, omit 0] 01342 836565
