Hi there,
This is on kijiji in Nova Scotia [Canadian version of Craigslist].
I am somewhat tempted. I would mind having a little late model portable to work on, but I suspect this maybe a really bad machine. ... but maybe not.
I have asked for the owner to send better pictures of the soundbox, one without a record on the patter and of course the brand name.
He hasn't got back to me yet. Thoughts? If maybe a worthwhile project what should I offer ... I suspect $75 [even in Canadian] is too high.
Thanks

Re: Pink suitcase portable
These Paillard portables are definitely red not pink, I had one once. Not the best machine to begin with, and this one is pretty rough. In good shape they are worth $300-$400.

Re: Pink suitcase portable
Thank you for the information HisMastersVoice!
I now can do a bit more research and it seems it may not be an outrageous price after all.
I guess time has pinkened the redness .
Do you think I should edit the post title?

Re: Pink suitcase portable
FYI
I bought it and it most assuredly red. It was the dust and lighting.
I will post some pictures and ask a question or two once I begin to work on it in the "British and European Machine section.
