For sale: Hofbauer 36-note organette with Mikrobox controller and added

49-note instrument is described by Hofbauer as

  49er Örgelchen [organette]

  1 stopped flute register (Gedeckt) of metal pipes, 4' with 49 notes

The organette is powered by a built-in turbine blower and played by the
Hofbauer Mikrobox electronic controller which plays proprietary Hofbauer
cartridges of up to 10 songs per cartridge.

The instrument has additionally been fitted with a floppy diskette MIDI
file player system.  The Mikrobox controller is still installed but it
has been disabled so it won't conflict with the MIDI file player system.
