Dingo. Good idea - possibly - if the seller cooperated and I knew how to do that... I don't think any more info. is available from the seller though. He knows nothing about accordions: I think it's an estate sale.

Tom. I don't know whether you're valuing this box at >= $65 or there was a currency conversion glitch. GBP150 is approx. US$190. That makes the risk sound a bit greater, doesn't it? And there's still some uncertainty as to its provenance...

Ventura. Too true! I'm still hoping to come across a 5-row CBA.

An added complication is that I'd have to hide possible purchase from my lovely wife who, quite reasonably, despairs of me... Anyone else have a similar problem?

Ah, yes, definitely a difference at $190. I have solved the other problem. When my lovely wife buys *another* item from Athleta or Title Nine I say, “Wow honey, that looks really great on you and makes your (fill the blank) look really good!” Follow this with “How do you like my new accordion, isn’t it pretty?” Works every time
