FS: Coinola A with Quarter Sawn Oak Case
By Stephen Kent Goodman

This Coinola A has the potential to be a terrific classic Coinola.
It is perfect for someone looking for a project, or the person who has
always wanted to own a Coinola but couldn't afford or wouldn't pay the
price for a fully restored one.

It has its original roll frame (A roll), motor and coin mechanism;
the coin box is missing.

It is missing the mandolin and its pneumatic but all the other
pneumatics are there, including stack, pedals, etc., original pump
(I am including a Coinola style pump that could be adapted for this
instrument), with original Coinola pump flywheel.

Needs new ebonies, missing the top panel and bottom panel and one leg.
Exact replica art glass (tulip design) is included.

It will require rebuilding of the piano action, some work on sounding
board and case work.  The piano harp is in good shape and has no cracks
in it.  We have veneer for sale separately that matches the existing
veneer (quarter-sawn oak).

It has great potential.  If I didn't need the room and wasn't so busy
with other work, I'd take the project on myself.  There is plenty of
room in the upper case to add bells, xylophone or pipes.  Six pictures
of it are available via e-mail.  E-mail me with questions and for
photos.  Located in Central California.

Thank you,
Stephen Kent Goodman
