Hello to all MIDIOTS
By Brian Chesters

Hello there,

My name is Brian Chesters and I live in Blackpool in England. I spent three years as a full time restorer of player-pinos etc. But then I decided to make some money so went into business. I still spend much of my time searching out good players and similar automatic musical items. Some I keep and many I sell on to people I know arround the world.
For myself I have a Steinway 'O' Grand Duo-Art Player of the European type with electric and foot pumper.(pedals housed in a box where the lyre should be) Also a Keyless red welte, Feurich piano of the Empire style It is to be restored this year. I have had the Welte for five years now. I have several push-ups. Yes, the push-ups are all for sale. Musical boxes, upright 19" polyphon, Two 17" stellas, 15" Symphonion with ten bells and a few others.
I understand that phonographs and organettes are cheaper in the US than in UK, any comments on this??
Also I am looking for the following items:-
Rollmonica,Play-a-sax,Triola Zither,Cabinetto organ,Tanzbar,unrestored Ampico upright or grand cheap.
I will post more stuff to the news group as I get it.
Brian Chesters
