Mills Dewey Purchase Help/Opinion

[mrblatzman]

I have always wanted a upright slot...Over the years I have found several, but never proceeded to actually acquire one....I cant afford a top end model with music, but instead have decided that something along the lines of a Dewey would fill my desires....I would appreciate some of you guys opinion as to a fair, to both parties, value for a decent older freshened or original example....I don't want a over restored machine with new wood and repro casting, just a nice old survivor that looks and plays well....I appreciate any advice that some of you may want to share.....Thankyou Bob Reno

one important thing to o when you go to look at one is have a magnet in your pocket to check all of the castings.
