You can buy a lot of firewood for what that thing costs and get better heat too.

"Case in great condition for its age"
I love it. A good looking corpse must be worth something, no???
Having said that, I'm sure someone could fix that plate. For about 12 times as much as that piano will ever be worth....

I could probably fix the plate, but the shipping would kill me!!
