I've never seen someone stick a morning glory horn on an opera. That's interesting...

Appears to be a Triumph in the first listing, not a Home.

Wow, a 25% buyers premium. I could not bring myself to do it. I get heartburn even with a 10% prem.

Re: Opera for sale at auction Philly
That's a pretty sad Opera with absurd horn, missing or inappropriate reproducer, and missing gear cover. Restoring that would not be cheap.

I think the reproducer is o.k., it's just rotated 90 degrees in its mount. Otherwise doesn't look too bad.

Re: Opera for sale at auction Philly
They sold today. I was bidding but didn't win them. The Triumph with crane and horn and 32 cylinders sold for $500, with premium that's about $650. The Opera and the Srandard sold for $1700, with premium that's about $2200 for the pair. That was a good price. The machine was complete just missing the correct horn. The reproducer was correct also.
