Hi all,  Don Teach brought up the Seeburg G that's going to sale
May 10th in New Jersey,  http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/22174/lot/195/ 

The orchestrion appears to be complete, and reminds me of another G
that sold a few years ago which was also complete and unrestored:

The estimated price is currently $10-15,000 which was the estimated
price for the other G, but that ended up going for $57,000.  Will we
see another go for nearly $60,000?  A Seeburg G is considered America's
premier orchestrion (on which I concur!) so I wouldn't be surprised if
this went for quite a bit more than estimated!

Robert's Restorations ended up doing the restoration on that G and it
turned out fantastic, one of the best I've heard.  You can find videos
of this G today on YouTube under his account:
