Looking for Kimball Console - Worlds Fair Model

[Annie Grieshop]

There are a couple Kimball consoles for sale in/near Chicago on
craigslist.com -- maybe one of 'em is hers, if it was refinished before it
went missing....  None has enough information to determine what model it
might be.

  I got the following email from someone in distress. Apparently she wanted
to have her grandmother's piano refinished and tuned for her birthday.

  Anyone know of the where-abouts of such a piano? (Besides the
landfill....)

  Thanks.
