FS: Western Electric Orchestrion in Pennsylvania
By Rich Sitler

The owners of Roadside America, a huge miniature railroad layout
located in Shartlesville, Pennsylvania (between Harrisburg and
Allentown), have called it quits and are having a huge auction of
all the pieces and parts accumulated over the last 70 years.

One of the items is a Western Electric Orchestrion, currently
listing at $2175 with 8 days left in the auction.  Bidding is
online.  No information is given as to condition but from the photos
it appears in nice shape.  I can't remember it playing the last time
I was there.

Anyway, I'm just posting for the good of the order.  Here's the
link to the auction:
