1880S Mctammany Organette Crank Roller Organ Music Box I think it will be a good player, with minor work and adjustment. I think it merely needs the balck roller tightened by the reeds. When oyu turn the crank it skips, so it does not advance the roll. If i manually pull the roll, it will play notes, so i do not believe the bellows need any work.
The tension rolls may need some adjustment. Case measures approximately 12 wide by 15 1/2 long and 6 tall. The black walnut case is about very good. It has a tight glue joint seperation on the top, and a near invisible glue repair to one of the corners.Teh original finish is nice. Typical light scratching and wear consistent wiht age and proper use. It has been well cared for. I merely dustde off the organette, so it will clean up a little better. Some wear and paint loss to black ebonized panels, but certainly above average. The 5 rolls are all stamped mctammany, but some are very faint. Rolls have typical creasing, staining, wear, and may have small teasr at holes. I think 4 out of the 5 will play with no trouble, while the fifth roll has 2 tabs hanging by a thread at the edges. A nice restorable organette, with vrey respectable rolls. Pics will tell teh story. Insured ups ground mailing will be $20.00 to lower 48 states. lPease note i do not use second chance offers.If you receive one, it is a scam. If you require a specific carrier, please inform me before i send an invoice. If you have a question, please ask. If i do not have an opportunity to answer, assume nothing. |
