Shipping would be the responsibility of the purchaser, the item resides in Lysterfield in Victoria. Please ask all and any questions that you might have. Thus shipping costs may range from $50 to $150. Interstate shipping upon request.
Item sold as is.
I have had an email from a gentleman who has told me that the serial number on this Pianola is for the year 1926-27. my sincere apologies to all; l do not know anything about musical instruments and was given the year from a reputable Piano merchant who had a Beale book of dates for the manufacture of this item. I will attempt to reverify the date on Monday 21st.
Update; The serial number is indeed for the year 1926-27! My error, l misunderstood what l had been told. My apologies to all and this redhead will now sign up for that hearing aid l have been promising myself!
