Yes -- there is quite a lot of mechanical music (by our standards) in
the museum auction next week, along with many other items.  And I agree
about the quaint catalog descriptions of some of the pieces.  The
museum is well-known to New Zealand collectors and we all have our own
ideas about restoration standards.  I won't be there.  Nonetheless it
will be an interesting event.  I'll post some prices if I can get them.
