The Neiman Marcus Christmas catalog is out and they're offering a
carousel this year:

  "This one-of-a-kind traditional carousel sports six authentic animal
   figures -- a goat, lion, rabbit, and three different horses -- hand
   carved of basswood and hand painted using artist oils.  Other features
   include solid brass poles, decorative hand painted rounding boards,
   270 lights, mirrors, emergency stop buttons, and a continuous tape of
   old-time carousel music.  Fully operational, it runs on a five
   horsepower, 220-volt  motor.  Custom-designed and carved by Larry
   Lefferly, a third generation carver, in Cornersville, Tennessee, each
   animal is signed by the artist.   Approximately 12'T x 22'; carousel
   must be installed on a concrete slab, ideally under a pavilion-type
   roof."

   Price:  $300,000

For that price, they should include a real band organ rather than a tape!
