We lighted 'her' up yesterday and after some lubrication of the inner parts sure enough music started to pour out of her. Great machine! I really didn't know they were that rare. The mechanics of the machine are in good condition, only the 'exhaust chimney' on the side is not properly fitted anymore.
If you would, please post some images, (or better, a video). You might want to keep a proper fire extinguisher handy when you run it, (seriously). Welcome to the group.

Very interesting machine, congrats! 8-)
