An antique shop in Red Bluff, California, has a 1932 Marshall and
Wendell 5'4" grand with Ampico B in it. The B system has been worked on
at some time, as the tubing looks new, and it does still play, sort of.
The piano has had something spilled in it in the treble end and I would
say it could use restringing, at least. The piano has a blond case with
some damage (moving?). They have it listed on Craigslist at $850 -- in
my opinion way over priced, but...
The telephone number is 1-530-917-2763. They also have a 'teens upright
player and a 1960s Pianola player that are priced more realistically.
The Pianola still plays, too.
Save 'em while you can!
