Edisonplayer, did you participate in my C250/19 database? I don't recall seeing your information. If you haven't, I would appreciate it if you could take the time to help me out with my research at this link:

Frank, your home sounds great! I have a fondness for the year 1917 also as my dad was born that year and I even have a 1917 Chippendale C-250 in mahogany. In contrast, I live in one those California 21st century Mediterranean style stucco with Spanish tile roof suburban developments in So. Calif. I'm sure my Edison would go better in your house!
