Hello MMDers,  I have a neighbor lady that likes looking through
antique shops and knows I am always looking for orchestrions.  While
she was several hours out of town today, she stumbled upon what is
described as a very large barrel orchestrion.  The name she retrieved
from the identification plate reads:  Amelotti, Nice, France

Does anyone know anything about this piece?  It does work somewhat, and
then stalls out after a few minutes of playing.  Is the $5000.00 asking
price in line?

Thanks,
Bill Masterman
