I`ve picked up a nice ACME (NY) accordion and I`m pretty certain that I`m gonna rewax and revalve it. It`s only a 3 reed box but there aren`t many of em out there this nice so it might make a good conversation piece if nothing else. It will be the first non pro model I`ve restored but with a new amp jack installed and new wax and valves it might even be saleable and if not it will look nice on a shelf. I think I have just enough left over valves to do it without adding to the $50 I originally paid for it.
My question is: Was the ACME name actually made by Excelsior (NYC)?
