Yeppers. Those have been out there for awhile. Maybe if I had a few extra million I could buy both and spend alternating weekends putting the S-19 back into its shipping case, then taking it out, then putting it back in again.... Don't you people see the potential for meaningful historical re-enactment?

Thanks, Fran.

The seller evidently thinks that this S-19 and its crate will be the next big draw in the museum world--justifying their total purchase price through a marked increase in gate. After all, aren't museum visitors SO OVER T-Rex bones? Titanic artifacts? Cat mummies? Civil War uniforms? King Tut's gold funeral mask? The chair Lincoln was shot in? Answer is obviously yes, according to this seller.

Mom: "Honey, what can we do with the kids this weekend?"

Dad: "Well, we can take them down to the City Museum to see that Edison disc phonograph with its original packing crate."

Mom: "That's right! Isn't this also the weekend when someone dressed as an Edison worker will seal the phonograph back into the crate?"

Dad: "Indeed it is. I'll go on-line and order tickets right now! Beats wasting time on the Chicago Cubs."

Good one, Ralph. That's funny I hope the seller isn't breathing too much smog to come up with this ridiculous price. I've been following this for the past couple of years.

Harvey, wow! I knew that this seller has recycled his ads at least a few times, but I didn't realize that he's been doing so for a couple years.

I'm so relieved that, at the end of each of those ads, he writes "Only one! When it's gone, it's gone." Can't come soon enough; but which "sucker born every minute" (a la W.C. Fields) will oblige the rest of us, we can't know.

The seller is going to have a long, long wait--especially with the S-19.

Hey, I have an Edison crate too, but I'd take a reasonable price for mine closer to $75. I'm in So. Calif. Can deliver to CAPS show.

Pughphonos:

Kind of sounds like a weirded out version
of the old submarine races or the game
"hide the salami".

In the crate, out of the crate, in the crate,
out of the crate.
