FS: Ampico Rolls, Ampico System, Cremona Style 3
By Bob Stewart

As part of the deal to get a couple of new toys I had to promise the
wife I would try to clear out enough space so she can get her car back
in the garage.  Therefore I am selling the following:

(1) One lot of 125 Ampico rolls.  It's a real mixed grouping of mostly
'A'-coded rolls that are heavy on the re-cuts.  There is a good mix of
music types and roll size.  All are in boxes and I believe them all
to be playable, but at this price I'm not going to do a 100% check.
Price is $400 for the lot plus shipping.

(2) Complete Ampico "A" system from an upright.  You get everything but
the piano and the hard rubber tubing that's falling off.  The motor
runs quiet and cool.  This is a great deal for a rebuilder or someone
who wants to have a rebuilt set of valves or other items ready on the
shelf.  Price is $500 plus shipping and crating cost.  This would be
best if picked up.  Parts are located in the Chicago/Milwaukee area.

(3) The last item is a Cremona Style 3 early style, A-roll, coin piano.
I believe all major components are there with the exception of the coin
box and the bottom front panel.  The glass is also missing.  It
currently has a 10-cent slide installed.  Someone bought a new set of
hammers for it.  It will need a complete restoration including some
veneer work so it is not a project for the faint of heart.  It is a
former Silver Dollar City machine.  I've priced it at $1,200.  Moving
arrangements are the buyers responsibility.  You will need big friends
for this one -- it's a heavy old devil!
