stored for over 30 years, this miniature player piano has been tested, and is working but no music rolls to test with.
the blower pump is functioning, and sounds strong.
Roller take up mechanism rotates, rewind mechanism also rotates.
blocking and unblocking the air holes activates the keys, and all seem to respond.
although there are 30 keys, only 22 holes are actually activated by the piano roll
to only those corresponding 22 keys.
(8 are inactive by design)
all 30 keys can play manually.
a couple are a little sticky, not returning to rest properly.
the foam rest above the keys is deteriorated, this is likely over 60 years old!
this is in as found condition, the back has not been opened.
only a light surface cleaning has been done.
finish is pretty nice, good condition overall,
the bottom shows some scrapes and scratches.
