are the very first model made. They are mass produced. She thinks they have value. I told her ONLY if there is a buyer out there. She has never found a buyer.

1. I had a set of beautiful Britannica. I gave them away.

2. I have a set of Disney VHS movies. Packed away in the basement somewhere. No idea where somewhere is. No interest in finding them either.

3. Mom bought me a brand new console Wurlitzer piano to learn to play. Full keyboard. Beautiful maple cabinet. Student grade (no Bosendorfer by any stretch) but of good quality as student instruments go. Surprisingly good bass section for its size. Its old now. Sound board cracked but still does its job. Pin block dried out from age so the tuning pins in the bass section aren't as snug as they need to be. Absolutely not worth it to disassemble it and replace the block. It can be patched by using glue on the pin block. How long will that last? No idea. Gave it away. (I now have an acoustic grand.) Acoustic pianos are high maintenance requiring tuning, regulation, voicing, cleaning, sometimes string replacement. Prepare to open your wallet very wide.

4. Dad had a PT job in US post office. When they replaced their old scales they let him take one home for free. Its a balance scale. May have some value but not much I suspect. Haven't bothered to check into it.

5. Have an old Thomas Edison theater phonograph. Weighs a lot. Plays wax cylinders. Uses an acoustic horn for amplification. It's destined to be on display in my music room. It has value but nothing to knock your socks off.

6. Old mandolin. Very old. Huge crack in the back. Can't be played as its too weak to tolerate the tension of tuned strings. Its in my music room as a decorative piece.

Have some other pieces. Most likely limited in value. Condition is VERY important. But again, value is based on who is willing to pay what for it. I have no illusions.
