If I was anywhere near Fairport, NY (near Rochester) I wouldn't hesitate to gamble and buy it for $55... Then wait to find a similar size Viva-Tonal machine to use as a donor and complete it... You may not find the required parts loose, but I would bet that finding a complete machine for a donor wouldn't be too hard... I think that this is an unusual cabinet, but I may be wrong.

It's about an hour from me here in Buffalo...I want it, but I have precious little space - so when I decide to fill that space, it has to be reasonably doable or done....
