Yes, the Antique Music Museum and DeBence Antique Music World are
related -- they are one and the same. Unfortunately somehow MBSI
didn't get updated information for the directory.
Mr. DeBence passed away in 1992 and the collection was purchased
by a non-profit organization, Oil Region Music Preservation Museum,
which now operates the museum at 1261 Liberty St. in Franklin.
I'd like to invite anyone traveling through Pennsylvania to stop in and
see us. We have over 100 instruments and are open year round. We give
guided tours and play a great number of the machines for our visitors.
If you are traveling to Philadelphia for the MBSI convention please
allow time to stop and see us. Identify yourself as a MBSI member
and we'll even give you a discount! We are located just 13 miles off
Interstate 80 at Exit 3. Anyone wishing further information please
call me at (814) 432-8350 or drop me a line through MMD.
Happy listening,
Lynn Zillmer
