FS: Leonard and Co. Player and 400 Rolls
By Rick Cooley
Hi Folks, I continue to steal MMD member's approaches to rebuilding automatic playing instruments. Some of the tips are a pleasant surprise to me, even after 35 years of rebuilding everything except the kitchen sink. (And I am a terrible plumber.)
To the point: I have a friend (without computer) who is selling his player piano and collection of 400 rolls. The instrument is a --
Leonard and Company Cabinet Grand player piano, Serial number 132576. The veneer is generally OK but will take some work. The instrument plays weakly and likely needs a complete rebuild. My friend is asking $500 for the machine but the real gem in what he has is likely the 400 rolls that are priced separately (to be sold separately). This roll collection is a 50-50 assortment of more recent recuts and vintage old rolls. Almost all are in good condition boxes with titles. I suspect an offer of $500 for the rolls will take them all but any offer will be considered.
If there is any interest, please contact Victor Janvier directly (after 5 PM EST) at (302) 998-9688 in Wilmington, Delaware, USA. Thanks.
With best regards to all,
Rick Cooley, Hockessin , Delaware
