What can you buy for $100?

Post by HisMastersVoice »

Well my friends, today the answer is a gorgeous early VV-50 in oak! I’ve been casually looking for a nice oak 50 for a while, but they are always overpriced or junky. A few days ago I stumbled upon this gem on eBay of all places, and the machine was at a local(ish) pawn shop in Flint, MI. The starting bid was $99, so I figured why not. Well, I won for a grand total of $113 and just picked it up today. It’s in far better shape than I thought, I couldn’t be more pleased!

Rich,

I didn't post any links. If you mean the 5 photos I uploaded, they appear fine on my iPhone and computer as well.

Same here. I don't see photos, just links to the jpeg files. When I click them I get something like "The selected attachment does not exist anymore". Tried it in both IE and Chrome.

They don't work for me either. They appear as links --

Ok, I think they are fixed. I'm pretty sure my iPhone took them as "live photos" which are totally pointless and only serve to capture me swearing while I'm taking a photo of something.

No, it looks like photos from more than just your thread disappeared / only show as links. Must have happened the last hour or so. Maybe some drive problem on the server?

Thanks
Andreas

The latest uploaded pictures from this thread also changed to links. I was able to see them as pictures just an hour or so ago http://forum.talkingmachine.info/viewto ... 2&start=20. Other pictures uploaded earlier seem fine...
