Symphonion Music Box
By Marty Roenigk

Bruce Hannover inquired about a Symphonion music box with bells,
apparently a changer.  This sounds like a 21-1/4-inch disc Symphonion,
which is known in changer format in relatively small numbers, perhaps
eight or so.  We just sold one, the larger model that holds ten discs
(most hold five), for a very considerable amount of money, but still
well shy of $100,000, and it was beautifully restored.

I used to see one of these at an antique shop outside of Miami I think,
some 15 years ago.  Given that he was terribly overpriced back then, it
is probably still the same one!

Also, as to Rolmonicas, we have found that these will realistically sell
for right around $100, occasionally a little more, and the rolls sell for
typically $3-5.
