Curt, This has been for sale for over a year. It has been heavily and poorly restored and worth far less then the asking price. A friend has two of them.

Re: And now... for something completely different...
I put it under machines, since it seems to be a machine. I didn't know it had been for sale for so long - are these real or fantasy machines?

I guess this is really "something no one else will have"... since, apparently no one wants it...

Re: And now... for something completely different...
Actually Curt, on the contrary. These Buddha machines are very rare and desirable. However, like any rare (or not) machine, condition will play a major factor in it's worth.Curt A wrote:I guess this is really "something no one else will have"... since, apparently no one wants it...
Because this particular example has been so heavily restored....it will only appeal to a certain crowd. By the way, there are at least three variations of this machine.
As mentioned, a friend has two of the variations. Here are few on line as examples....
