STELLA 17 1/4\" Disc Music Box Console Floor Model>>>>>>NO-RESERVE<<<<<>NR<< For Sale

I am selling this item at NO-RESERVE. Local pickup is best, but I can pack up this item for a small charge if winner agree\'s to pay actual shipping anywhere in the lower 48. A moving van company would be ideal. I am not looking to make any money on the shipping charge. I may also get someone who delivers antique cars all around the USA to deliver it at the expense to the buyer. I am just saying that there will be options to get this music box to you via shipping. I am a old car collector and I don\'t know anything about music boxes. I had hope to have it repaired and enjoy it, but with getting older and many old cars to get up and running, I\'m going to concentrate on the cars. Here\'s what little I know about this item as far a what it needs to be restored: Some teeth missing. No Key. 2 grab handles and metal bezels around the the key holes are missing, but I would think someone is reproducing these or get them from a parts music box. I turn the crank, but it does not whined up. 4 screws that hold the patented date tag are missing and a couple screws that cover the 2nd comb are missing. Really a \"none factor\" as far as missing screws. Someone stripped the finish on the cabinet. Very good job. Wood is very smooth and the wood grain is not raised or rough. Needs a new finish applied. I\'ll let the new owner choose the type of varnish or wood oil to use. I am not a expert in this field of collecting. These are the items that I see that need attention. Could there be more problem area\'s, maybe or maybe that\'s all, but I have done my best to point out issues with this music box and it is being sold AS-IS. No returns or refunds. Be sure to look at all 22 photo\'s. I\'ll be glad to answer any questions Thanks Last pat.d date is Aug. 14, 1900. First Pat.d is Sept. 22nd, 1885. Swiss Made on Tag. The cabinet measures approx. 29\" wide by 21\" deep and 38 1/2\" tall with wheels on the bottom.You get 2 disc with it. A great chance for the handy man to own one of these rare items, or have someone fix it for you. I\'ve just seen some of these on and they want thousand of dollars for these. I have no idea what its worth. You buyers will determine its value. Overseas buyer should contact me before they offer. NO-RESERVE >>>>>>>>>>> NO-RESERVE. offer to WIN!

Hi, I\'ve been away from the computer the past day or so. I would be shipping from St.Paul, Minnesota 55113. I\'m guessing the weight at 125-175 lbs.??? Just a guess. You have the size of the music box from my sale ad. You may want to contact Mayflower or Allied moving vans and see what they would charge. I have been overwhelm with interested parties wanting quotes and how much to ship around the USA. I guess it will be up to the buyer to figure out how much it will cost to have it shipped. There will only be one WINNER. Like I said, I can pack it well with plenty of bubble wrap and fit it into a large heavy cardboard box. I\'ll do whatever I can on my end to get it package at NO-CHARGE to the buyer with bubble wrap and cardboard. I see on there is a Stella for $9500.00. Looks like it would be worthwhile to fix this one up. I don\'t know a thing about music boxes, so have fun offerding on this at NO-RESERVE.Thanks again!!!!!ps. someone email and wanted to know the condition of the cabinet. Its in excellent condition in my opinion. Good Luck

I found out from a friend that there is a freight forwarding company in the St.Paul/Minneapolis area, so it would be pretty easy to send it to either coast or the gulf of Mexico to put it in a container if the winner ends up being overseas, I\'ll do my best to help with the shipping process. Also, I have someone over the next couple weeks traveling in a van from St.Paul, Minneapolis, Minnesota to Canton, Ohio area and then to Ashville, North Carolina and back to St.Paul, Minnesota, hence some type of deal might be able to be worked out along the way. Just wanted to let you buyers know. Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!

I may also have another friend who may leave Minneapolis St.Paul, Minnesota area to pick up a car in Hot Springs , Arkansas, so there could be a chance it could be delivered points in between the 2 destinations.
