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.andyjon100 wrote:I'm sorry ! I was going to do that, but didn't get the chance... It's in Fairport, NY, asking $55 (I bet it could be had for much less, though).

Re: Probability of sourcing Columbia parts?
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....
