FS: Artrio Angelus Roll in Tasmania
By John Phillips

Hello MMD.  I live in Hobart, the capital city of Tasmania, Australia.
That sounds quite grand; actually Hobart is a small town with
a population of about 180,000.  Anyway, I've just been into town and
poked my nose into the only player rebuilding shop there.  In a pile
of old rolls I noticed Artrio Angelus roll No. 7804, "Pizzicatti",
by Gillett, played by Ferdinand Himmelreich.  If it were an Ampico
or a Duo-Art I wouldn't bother to write to MMD about it, but I know
that Artrio Angelus rolls are not common.  It looks to be in excellent
condition.

If anybody wants it and is prepared to pay the postage, etc., which
will doubtless be a lot more than the cost of the roll, I'm prepared
to buy it and mail it.  This would be more interesting to Australian
MMD subscribers, but I don't know of anyone here who has an Artrio
Angelus player.
