Very cool looking machine! I have not seen this before. It would seem its rarity could be directly related to the poor sales of this model originally. Still, it is quite interesting and no collection would be complete without it. Yours appears to be in excellent condition which would make it very collectable to the right person.

One other thought... maybe the reason the shaver has destroyed several cylinders is that the blade may be adjusted too close to the cylinder and cuts too deeply. Also, it may need to be sharpened to operate properly. If neither of these is the reason, it will still make a nice display item for someone who has other machines and would like a nice shaver to go with them.
No problem Curt! Ok! 500$ (=420€). Is good for me. i want only to refund my money. Not make benefit. The problem is the price of the postal charge to USA! If the buyer is a USA people.
Yes! You have right! Maybe a little sharpending, can be good!
I am going to change my title.
Thanks
