Hello,

My name is Jon "maddog" Hall, and I have received a pointer to this list.

While relatively new to automata in the music world, I have been collecting
automata for years in the form of clocks, treadle sewing machines,
wind-up phonographs and other mechanical things.

In the past two years I have purchased and had restored:

        o a 1909 Beckwith Player Piano (Pianola)
        o a 1903 Wilcox and White Symphony Player Reed Organ

In a separate letter I will be sending an annoucement of an open house
sponsored by the people who restored the Wilcox and White organ.

Thanks for adding me to the list.
