I hope that some one out there may be able to help me. We are moving abroad soon and I have a rather old and weary looking pianola that can not come with us. It is Hopkinson wiht ivory keys. CAn any suggest an asking price or the best place to advertise?

We live in the South West of England if that helps at all?

Thanks in advance.

Does it work?

The piano bit does. I think the pump has a hole in it - if that is possible. It needs tuning and some of the varnish is rubbed off.
Thanks for replying.

Very difficult to shift if it's not working. If it's a Duo-Art or some other nice system then it may have a following.

Try the Player Piano Group.

Thanks again. I guess that is good news and not so good. Will try the contact you suggested. May try to get it fixed before selling.
