The Welte Style 3 Cottage Orchestrion in the second floor hallway of the Asa Packer mansion. This Welte was originally weight driven, but was electrified long ago. All parts removed were carefully stored in the house. The website for the Packer house dates the Welte at 1905, but it is likely earlier. Its present condition is not known.
