| If I only knew someone in Atlanta! It's the real thing: the sweet lil' old lady with a treasure that she's willing to let go cheap. You hear about it...and this is it. |

Elderly has one for about $1K.
I have a cousin in Alpharetta, but even so it would still be a three hour round trip for her, so I'm not going to ask her to make it (because she would!). And then I'd feel bad for paying $300 for a piece that is worth quite a bit more than that -- even if Elderly is overcharging. |

Kelly, I used to work for years for a company based in Alpharetta - but I don't know anyone at head office, darn it!
Anyway, you could always tell the seller that your conscience won't let you pay less than X dollars.
Just riffing, you know. Living vicariously.  |

I believe Valco used cast zinc to build those. There were some posts years ago about those if I remember correctly. Seems they were hard to keep in tune (?) I don't understand why that would be.
Would be interesting to hear one........ |
