Welcome To Mechantiques

	78-8. Regina 27" Changer Late Style 33 with Carved Dragons Very nice example of an increasingly scarce music box - the largest of the Reginas in the automatic format. These have become very popular and this is the first we have had in a couple of years. Very good condition, refinished mahogany case. Mechanism has been adjusted and plays very well. Piano sounding board. No gallery, this later style never had one. Spring needs repair or replacement. These have gotten much harder to acquire, the first we've had in at least two years. With 12 good condition discs.
Sold	78C-18. Zimmerman "Harmonipan" Monkey Organ This is the finest condition monkey organ we have ever had, looks like the day it came out of the factory. Has the exposed pipes across the front. From our own collection. Bellows need some attention.
Sold	78-26. Seeburg KT Special Reproduction This is one of the KT Specials made so painstakingly by Bill Edgerton in the 1970's, everything was done just right including the "Seeburg" harp. This one is pretty much like the day it came out of Bill's "factory" and plays up a storm. A great looking and sounding machine at a great discount from the original.
Sold	78-29. Rookwood Regina Console style 40 Rare case style with "Rookwood" finish and paintings all over the case. This model incorporates the late short bedplate mechanism and is really the best of all combinations - the finest development in music box technology combined with a beautiful console case with the rare painted finish. This example needs some repair to the paintings and finish, but the case is generally in quite good original condition. The mechanism needs a normal restoration, there is no damage. Will be a real museum piece when restored. A rare opportunity. With 12 discs.
Sold	78-2. Thibouville-Lamy 11" Cylinder Music Box Needs restoration.
Sold	78-14. Large Paillard Cylinder Box Large, impressive and very nice sounding Paillard. Sublime Harmonie Tremolo Zither. Double spring. Beautiful all original case has been polished, has a few light scratches. In fine condition with large 17" cylinder.
Sold	78-13. Interchangeable Cylinder Music Box Pretty music box with three 13" cylinders. Combs have some tooth replacements and lid has been reveneered. Looks & sounds good.
Sold	78-10. Piano Melodica Book Operated Piano Large and impressive example of the 30-key Piano Melodica with six books of music. This is the style illustrated on page 361 right center (but no lower shelf) of Bowers. Plays well, very decorative, only 2nd one we've had.
Sold	78-3. Columbia Graphaphone Cylinder Phonograph With large brass horn.
Sold	78-7. Another Polyphon Style 45 Wouldn't you know it, the first one in two years and you get two of the most ornate 15 1/2" Polyphons! This one is being restored, ready in Sept.
Sold	78-20. 24 1/2" Disc Lochmann Original with Tubular Bells One of the very best pieces on the list, these large Lochmanns, especially with the tubular bells, have always been very highly regarded. This one has been restored, has a non-original base, and sounds fabulous.
Sold	78-24. Stella 17 1/4" Mahogany Console Lots of potential, but it needs some veneer work, refinishing and a mechanical restoration. Playing, has had some teeth replaced, sweet sound. A bargain at with 12 discs (more discs available).
Sold	78-27. Kalliope 13" Disc Box with Bells This lovely box would be twice as much except it is in a non-original case. With 10 discs. These bell Kalliopes are very desirable.
Sold	78-28. Large Unusual Cylinder Music Box with Alternating Tips Believed to have been made by Bremond. 20" cylinder, 10 tune, alternating tips are supposed to set up some sort of harmonic effect? Case needs work. Interesting "format" for the advanced collection or museum.
Sold	78-31. Edison Gem Phonograph Nice original, early flat key, no horn.
Sold	78-32. Capital Cuff Box Style "B" This is the intermediate size, and seems scarcer than the "A" or "C". Fine original condition, light restoration done, with 7 cuffs (more cuffs are available). Plays great. Very scarce.
Sold	78-33. Attractive Piano Roll Cabinet Red finish with pretty decals that look like marquetry, tall, two doors.
Sold	78E-1. Regina 20 3/4" Flat Front Automatic Changer We have had this out for restoration for a long time. We will sell it as is if you want to work on the missing linkage and back door, at , or wait for the full restoration to be completed and we will reprice it then.
Sold	78-36. Peerless Style 44 Nickelodeon Lovely fully restored Peerless cabinet style coin piano in the great Style 44 case (see Bowers Encyclopedia page 555 left side. This comes from a well known MBS member's collection. It has been beautifully refinished (oak), was completely restored by the highly regarded restorer Dave Ramey, everything is original except the glass which has been replaced with a replica "Peerless" etched glass. Piano has been completely redone and has a new soundboard. Still has the original Peerless roll frame (most were converted to Pianolin) and has about 20 rolls. Has not been used in a number of years so undoubtedly needs a little "tweaking" now but has been very well protected.
