Too bad. So much is permanently damaged or lost when people part out perfectly good functional machines.Le0 wrote:it would have been interesting if the seller sold the machine with the whole repeater or if he at least could sell all parts of the repeater together.
IMHO the best would have been to sell the repeater with the machine, especially if the guy doesn't know what he's doing which is obviously the case.
oh well, I hope someone wins both listings.

Re: Interesting Cylinder Repeater
So far, the same guy is high bidder on both items. It is now approx. $1,400 for both parts, with a day and a half to go. What would a complete Home with the repeater sell for in a normal market?

Re: Interesting Cylinder Repeater
Hopefully the current high bidder, (or someone) is able to get both pieces...
