I have been a mechanical music collector and restoration enthusiast for
some 25 years and am located in the Isle of Man in the Irish sea.

I have had published articles on restoring the pedal-electric Duo-Art
grand, Karrer-Hoffmann music boxes and, pour encourager les autres,
Windows 98 and the Music Box.  I can send scans of any of these
articles to MMD members on request.

Incidentally, if anyone has a Karrer-Hoffmann music box I would
appreciate some pictures and completion of a questionnaire which
I can e-mail.

Although, at my age, I should be selling the lot, my collection
mysteriously continues to grow.  I too am a human like Jody; despite
my wife's doubts I am definitely not an alien.
