Auction artefact #17: Farfisa Pianorgan III

All this pesky cancer carry-on made me commit an egregious oversight – I totally forgot to share Mick's latest auction triumphs.

He noticed a '50s record player capable of playing 78s, something he'd been looking for. It's not unattractive at all, but for me the real thrill was what it came with.

Behold the cocktail-lounge majesty of the Farfisa Pianorgan III:


It's beyond ginchy.
There are two problems, however.
1) Neither of us can play, and 2) it appears to have only one volume setting – embarrassingly loud.

Still, considering he got them both for $10, I can hardly complain.
