Carlton Wurlitzer Player Piano in Patagonia
By Horacio Asborno

Hi:  I'm looking for information about a Carlton Player Piano, serial
number 88208.  It is foot pump operation, small size, 1.50 meters high
(59").

The top action is different from any other I have ever seen: metal case
cover front valves with inscription Wurlitzer, air motor at the right,
but nothing else at the left side of the top action.  It is in very
nice unrestored condition, and it was about 75 years in the same room.

I hope somebody can tell me about the year of construction, or any
other comments about this instrument.  Now I will try to put it in
playing condition again.

Thanks, Horacio Asborno
Viedma, Patagonia, Argentina
