FS: 1980 Universal Nickelodeon Player Piano
By David McQuaide

For Sale: 1980 Universal Nickelodeon Player Piano, built by Universal
Player Piano Company, that has been restored and is in great working
condition.

The nickelodeon has been striped down and refinished with a hand-rubbed
finishing oil (6-plus coats) then waxed.  All of the valves have been
replaced with high quality valve leather.  The control tubing has been
replaced.  A Plexiglas cover to protect the keys has been added
(removable if not needed).

Comes with 11 rolls created for the Universal Nickelodeon (5+ tunes
per roll), an original flyer advertising the nickelodeon, a copy of
the Universal Player Piano Co. 1979 Wholesale/Retail price list, a copy
of the tubing diagram and the Universal Piano Service Manual.  Also
the book, "Put Another Nickel In," by Q. David Bowers (gives the
history of the nickelodeon), and the book, "The Orchestrion-Builder's
Manual," by Craig Brougher (both hard copy and on a CD).

We would like to sell all before we move to Portland, Oregon.
Asking $4,500 or best offer, located in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
For more information, pictures, or arrange to hear it, email
