Back in the early 70's Fleming Brown sold me a Merlin Banjo for a hundred bucks and he threw in 2 kittens(one sick) as a bonus. I think he got a kick out of that deal.I remember that it was really loud and heavy. I sold it to my then father in-law but dearly remember the sick kitten (with pneumenitis) who sneezed all over my carpets and curtains for a year.
