OMG (Oh My Gosh)!!!  This GORGEOUS antique German POLYPHON No.71G still plays music i.e., it WORKS!  The sound is just amazing....and it comes with 14 old music discs.  Lots of spring still in the metal disc holder and the front windup lever works beautifully (don't overwind!). I wish I could bottle the beautiful, beautiful tinkling sound of the bells when it is played....reminds me of living in Germany.  AHHHH...:)   There are flaws on the 14" X 12" X 6 1/2" wood case...i.e., some varnish loss, scratches, no lock, pin holes in the wood case, and some loss of wood around bottom trim and where lock was.  So, if you are looking for the perfect case, this Polyphon is not it.  Also, as with any antique mechanical item it may need a tuneup, so you are buying it "as is".  Discs have three holes, a center 1/4" hole with a 1/16" hole on either side; titles (as best I could read titles) included in this LOT are:

* Torgauer Marsch

* Holzauktion

* Tanhn a Marsch

* Die Schmiede in Walde

* Madetsky Marsch

* Martha

* Lustige Enemann

* du Frohliche O du Selige

* ich bete an die Macht der Liebe

* Fohenfriedberger Marsch

* Die Glocken Von Corneville

* Hansel und Gretel (Tanzlied)

* Der Tyroler und S..... Kind

*......ganze Kleine Frau (has a 1/2" bite on the edge)

NOTE:  This Polyphon will be packed carefully for a safe journey to the winning bidder with lots of styrofoam, peanuts and bubble wrap.  Insurance is included, however.

Please ask questions PRIOR to bidding as photos of every inch of an item(s) are not always possible, or easy to view, and I may overlook,not notice, &/or not include in my description the information about an item that you need to make your buying decision. I personally pack your item(s)to ensure its safe arrival & to save you $$$. If you would like to have a paid professional pack your item(s)that can be arranged. Just let me know as soon as the auction ends and prior to paying so that that cost can be included in your invoice. The packing choice (i.e., free me, or paid pro), therefore, if up to you. I generally do not offer refunds, rebates, or partial refunds once an item is bid on, won and shipped, therefore (unless specifically stated otherwse in the ad). Many items I offer are vintage, or antique, & so I rarely use the term MINT. I'll let you know what I see, or know about an item....most of my pictures are taken outdoors so that you can easily determine for yourself the items' true condition. If you have other questions, or conditions for purchase, please ask PRIOR to bidding. I use as a shipping address ONLY the address that EBAY, and PAYPAL, has for you. If your address has changed, or if you want the item shipped to a different address, you MUST change the address officially listed in both places. I do not charge a packing fee (I do it myself), however, handling fees can take into account the cost of insurance, tape, bubble wrap, styrofoam pellets/padding & other materials that may be necessary to ensure your treasure arrives safely. Insurance does not include the loss of an item after it is delivered. I do not offer insurance for out of country purchases or deliveries (note: I can provide a Customs #). Delivery Confirmation is sent with each US package for tracking purposes. I expect payment within 3 days of end of auction. I am an honest seller who expects buyers to be honest also. If I make a mistake (I am human) please contact me prior to leaving feedback and I will attempt to rectify the situation to our mutual satisfaction. Thank you for participating in my auction and I TRULY appreciate your business! :)
