MANY OF YOU WILL REMEMBER MY STEPFATHER, JIM BRUNNER'S LOVE FOR MUSIC. HE ONCE PURCHASED
AND LEARNED TO PLAY A SMALL PORTABLE PUMP ORGAN. I HAVE THIS ORGAN AND IT STILL WORKS.
I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE IT TO SOMEONE WHO COULD USE IT.
THE ORGAN FOLDS UP INTO A PORTABLE BOX THAT MEASURES 31 X 20 X 12. IT MIGHT WEIGH ABOUT
55 POUNDS.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE IT, PLEASE LET ME KNOW, RDRAKE@NEO.RR.COM.

Bob, I restored an old military folding field organ for Uncle Raleigh. I wonder if it is the same organ?

JOHN, I DON'T REMEMBER WHERE JIM GOT THE ORGAN BUT I THOUGH HE PURCHASED IT.
IT HAS A LITE TAN "OAK" FINISH IN FAIR CONDITION.

Dad, I've got Uncle Raleigh's organ. Dad and I rebuilt the cabinet and he rebuilt the bellows. In the early 80's it was used in an amateur production of Charlie Brown's Christmas. I was Schroeder. It hasn't been played much over the years, but it still works.

Bob,
I hope you have room to bring it to Tom's, I'd LOVE to see it!
Maybe an emailed picture would be as good?
