In a bit of a quandry here. My dad's come across a melodion that he's fairly sure could be worth a bit of money, and looking up similar items would seem to indicate so. However, nobody in my immediate circle has any clue about melodions or their ilk.
Firstly, I need to know how to find out what tune it's in. They seem to come in either B/C or D/G tuning, but I've no idea how to tell which. Secondly, the treble buttons along the top don't seem to do anything when depressed - they don't alter the sound in any way that I can tell. Thirdly, I have no idea what the two buttons on the bottom do, nor the four plungers on the side.
Any advice is appreciated.

. Was hoping someone would be able to tell me if it's definitely faulty at least...
