I noticed that, too. I am fully aware that there is a lot of demand.... and I will probably have to pay a "somewhat" high price, eventually. But, I just couldn't do it... Add a little shipping to that and it was well north of $200, as was guessed earlier in the thread. Wild....

And, to add some fuel to the discussion, something makes me think that sellers are having a hard time getting much more than $400 for these style front mount machines right now (Aretino, Harmony, Busy Bee, etc.) in working/playing condition. I see people "asking" more but I am referring to actual selling prices. I could be wrong....

One day, I am not giving up.... Hey, it's all part of the fun of collecting. If we all could complete a machine with missing parts in less than a month, it would be no fun... :D
