14 Jul 11 - 11:52 AM (#3187509) Subject: RE: Mystery squeezbox From: Bernard It looks like an Eastern European cheap and nasty one row melodeon, probably with all the 'right hand' reeds on one, maybe two plates, making repairs well nigh impossible. The bid price at the time I saw it (22 squids) is probably about right - ornamental, but not practical. |
