spinets Baldwin need info reply

Hi Richard,
To find the over 1 million serial numbers you have to look under Acrosonic
and you will find up to 1,536,461 in 1996.  True not all Baldwins were
Acrosonics but in serial numbers I think they were in the spinet size. 
Remember it is on the recent ones that don't compare favorably with the 10+
ones.
