Closing of Rye Treasure of Mechanical Music Museum
By Kevin McElhone

It is only 18 weeks until Rye Treasury of Mechanical Music Museum
closes at end of October 2002. If you were intending to visit don't
leave it too long.

Although the a large part of the collection will be removed to
different premises and opened to booked parties only in future, some
of the instruments will have to be sold.

I am currently negotiating prices and details, but this will certainly
include a 30/31 note note book playing fair organ, Polyphon 19 5/8"
(two), Autophone 22 note, Phoenix 24 note (last 2 un-restored)
some player pianos including rare solenoid operated Electrelle etc. etc.

If you would like a full list once prepared do please send me a message.
