Hi, I can't tell you the value but I can tell you that I rebuilt
one of those things many years ago. The property of the late
Bruce Devine, it was in a non-original horizontal rosewood case.
The original upright case had mostly been eaten by termites.
A fun job, but while loading it for shipping it was dropped from
a crane in Jakarta so needed a total rebuild. Pretty well everything
that could be bent was bent. The iron bedplate was in four pieces.
Large? We had to take out the shop window to get the thing into the
workshop! I wonder what happened to it...
