 [ Several subscribers (at least 3) then provided information regarding
 [ the availability of Jim Williams' collection.  Since there was
 [ so much interest, I asked Tom Blackwell for the entire list,
 [ which is given below.  After receiving the list, I talked with
 [ Jim Williams on the phone and added item 63, which was omitted from
 [ the list given to Tom.
 [
 [ Jim may be willing to provide a complete list of prices, but I'm
 [ not certain publishing the price list is in his best interest.
 [ I'd like advice from the group -- I'll go back and ask for prices
 [ if it seems appropriate.

1) Gavioli Fairground (Merry Go Round) organ

finished, this special organ will be exceedingly enjoyable.  About 60
multi-tune 82 note rolls are being made now.  A real treasure of the very
enjoyable Artizan music.  Walnut veneer on cabinet, 10 brass trombone
pipes.  Made in Paris, France around 1900.  Very capable and impressive.

interest.  A public attraction of high musical ability, very
entertaining.
