I will be selling an Auxetophone I discovered this past summer and offer it
up to the "list" first.  It is a rare one, in that only eighteen or so have
been found to date, and this is one of only two that have the original air
pump and air pump motor.  (Sanfilippo owns the other one)   This one is S.N.
195 which is the second lowest serial number Auxetophone known to date.  Air
pump and reproducer were gone through by Paul Baker a couple of months ago.
Westinghouse electric motor checks out be be in excellent original
condition.  All is original except for a Baker reproduction tone arm and a
full set of reproduction spring feet under the motor/pump assy.  Most nickel
parts re plated by Baker.  Correct brass bell horn in decent shape.  It has
a dealer tag from the S.F. area.  Firm price is $35,000 which many would
consider to be a bargain based on the last two known sales of Auxetophones
with reproduction pumps and motors which sold for $35,000 and $33,700.  I
will send pictures to anyone who might be interested.  I will be away from
my computer until 3/10.  Bob Johnson
