<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>I got a chance to tour the Aeolian =
factory in
Memphis years ago, 1970s maybe. They were selling a small upright =
shorter than a
spinit that incorporated a desk for use in mobile homes. The tour guide =
said
something like "we know it isn't much but it is better than =
nothing".
The case was veneered particle board with wood plugs where the screws =
would go.
Maybe this is what you have.</FONT></DIV>
