Mechanical Music Auction in Pittsburgh 17-18 May
By Eileen Jacobs

Dear friends of MMD,  I may be only able to look, but any MMDers
in Western Pennsylvania or nearby, with a pocket full of money, may
be interested in an auction scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, May 17
and 18, 2003.  I've copied some of the text from the web site at
http://www.jayestatesales.com/  Click on Upcoming Sales and then the
5540 Northumberland super sale.

  beautiful Chickering (w/apico drive) grand piano, Louis XV case
  c1924, Double Violano (Mills Mfg), Reproduco piano-organ c1920's,
  single Violano, George Steck spinet reproducing piano, Nelson-Wiggins
  Model 5X Orchestrion (all completely restored), Hammond organ

In 1995 I purchased a Wheelock Duo-Art from Joseph Kramer at this same
address.  At that time he had the Wheelock in his garage, but he did
talk about his collection in the house.  My guess is this is it.

I intend to go and have fun looking. :(  The sale starts at 7:30 a.m.
