FS: Fortuna 14-3/4-inch Disc Music Box
By Nancy Fratti

In response to a forwarded posting from Keith, requesting a disc
music box:

I have a really good, rare box in stock right now, with full, rich tone!
It is a Fortuna, 14 3/4" disc, about 72 teeth.  Typical European case of
quarter matched veneer, inlay of flowers on lid.  Mechanism has been
fully restored and has the sound projection of a 15" short bedplate
Regina!  Actually, it is a short bedplate!  The bedplate sits low in the
box and thus amplifies the sound upwards towards the listener.  Lid
picture is excellent, case is in excellent condition also.  Comes with
24, yes, 24 discs!  Price is $5800 + shipping.  No charge for packing.

I will be doing to the Music Box/Phono Swap Meet in Bound Brook, New
Jersey, next weekend and will be bringing this box with me if it is not
sold beforehand.  Interested?  Give me a call.....
