Angelus Orchestral Piano Player Restoration
By Ryan Adams

Hi,  I found this Angelus Orchestral piano player in a car boot
sale the other day.  I was wanting to know if it is worth restoring.

Unfortunately I don't know much about the player, only that the outer
case is in a sorry state, all the levers seem free and the pedals seem
to produce a pipe organ sound when pumped.  The piano player left the
factory in looks like 1902, but I could be wrong as it is written in
pencil and a bit faded.  Serial number 10665.

The wife is threatening to chuck it out, although I'm trying to convince
her to hang on to it.  Any advice about restoration, values, etc., would
be greatly appreciated and lend weight to my eternal struggle with the
trouble and strife (wife)!

Regards,
Ryan Adams, UK
