Jan,
I just called the lady about the cabinet this morning, and she said another lady called her about it, so that must be you. I'm going to send you a PM right now.

Update: PM sent. Would love to hear from you!

Better not tell the lady that a complete example of this model has just sold for £6158 on UK eBay. The details were originaly posted by UK member Steve as an eBay alert.
It might, however, be worth asking the lady when and where she disposed of the remainder of the machine. If the parts are in landfill, start digging!

She knows that this is/was a desirable machine worth a great deal when complete. She also knows that it's almost worthless without the horn, and that the chance of finding a horn is slim to none.
