Hello to all in MMD Land.  First of all, my apologies because a
Dulcitone is not an automatic instrument.

Nevertheless it is similar in many ways to a piano, so somebody out
there may have met one along the way.  Basically it is a small piano-
like, 61-note, small keyboard instrument with a sort of upside-down
grand-like action that plays a set of tuning forks.  It appears to be
somewhat cheaply built and could have been made around the turn of the
century.

Now that I found one at a "really good price" I have to figure out how
best to repair/restore it.

I would be delighted to hear from anyone who has worked on one of these
instruments or who knows of a source of usable information on repair or
restoration.

Thanks in advance,
