After reading do not reply via the clubisas YouTube channel I did, and commented on a 202 video asking if it was for sale or only the 203.

I got a response saying only the 203 is for sale, so at the very least it appears that person posting here also runs the YouTube channel.
I thought perhaps some scammer may have referenced a random channel as a vague proof of ownership for a variety of machines, but this doesn't seem to be the case.

So my apologies to Rodolfo if I've cast any doubts on a genuine post, even though it's a repeated post hours apart in the wrong section of the forum.
Perhaps cultural diversity is a better explanation rather than anything sinister.
Thanks a lot. I will try to move the post in the correct place

If this is a genuine sale, which it now seems to be, it is a very convoluted way of going about it.

P.S. Can someone please sort out which of the two current threads we should be using.
Don't get too excited! If memory serves me, they are Odeon table top cabinet machines ca 1920 re-branded Fonotipia.

Since Odeon and Fonotipia were both brands of the Lindstrom Group, that makes perfect sense.
I have recently found these images of a Fonotipia badged machine :
