It appears his collection was sent to auction in Las Vegas at the
Victorian Casino Antique Auction, and from their listing some pieces
were sold in the March 2011 auction.

I met Steve after he purchased a Wurlitzer 146A organ from a friend and
we delivered it to his home in Corona, California.  He then acquired
and set up in his office a Stinson band organ that played Style 165
music.  He also purchased a Reproduco from a local collector and had it
set up in his house.  Some time later he bought at auction a Seeburg KT
with flute pipes.

He had many jukeboxes and other collectibles and had only recently got
into collecting mechanical music machines.  I found out about his
passing only after a friend noticed some items in an auction flier that
were in his collection.  An Internet search found the obituary.
