This is not old. It was probably made in the 1980's. I have (or had) one. I may have sold it. I don't think it was made by Thorens, but it IS a music box. This one on ebay looks very weathered, compared to mine. I am writing the seller on this now.

That's what I thought. I realized it was a music box as soon as I saw how very small it was. It was trying to look old--but maybe it was buried in the ground for a while! ---Art Heller From [email protected] Thu Jan 25 17:24:11 2007 From: [email protected] (Dennis Back) Date: Thu Jan 25 17:24:29 2007 Subject: [Phono-L] Ebay item In-Reply-To: <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Art, The seller emailed me and said... "Thanks for the info. It certainly had me fooled. I will change description and title." Seems like an honest guy.

(This program is separate from the ARSC Preservation Grants Program, which encourages and supports the preservation of historically significant sound recordings of Western Art Music.) Project categories eligible for consideration include: discography, bibliography, historical studies of the sound recording industry and its products, and any other subject likely to increase the public's understanding and appreciation of the lasting importance of recorded sound. ARSC encourages applications from individuals whose research forms part of an academic program at the master's or doctoral level. ARSC members and non-members alike are eligible for grants in amounts up to $1000. Grant funds can be used to underwrite clerical, editorial, and travel expenses. Funds may not be used to purchase capital equipment or recordings, to reimburse applicants for work already performed, or to support projects that form part of a paid job. Grant recipients must submit documentation of their expenses, and all grant funds must be disbursed within eighteen months of the grant award. Grant recipients are required to submit brief descriptions of their projects (for publication in the ARSC Journal), and are encouraged to submit articles about their projects, for possible publication in the Journal. Research Grant Applications shall include: -- a summary of the project (one page maximum), with samples of the work, if possible; -- a budget covering the entire project, highlighting the expenses the ARSC Grant will cover (one page maximum); -- a curriculum vitae; and -- an indication of the prospects for publication or other public dissemination of the project results. Grant awards will be announced at the annual business meeting of ARSC, after having been approved at the spring meeting of the ARSC Board of Directors. Send applications to: Richard Warren Jr., ARSC Grants Committee Chair, Historical Sound Recordings, Yale University Library, P.O. Box 208240, New Haven, CT 06520-8240, USA. Applications for the next grant cycle must be received by February 28, 2007.
