Re: How Exotic!!
This looks like this was made by Joe's junkbox!!
The crap-o-phones made in India are much nicer and cheaper, too!!
I love a good laugh in the morning.

Pricing subject to change with research? What's the value of a wooden shipping crate with a portable mechanism installed? Also, I hope whoever has this listed is joking about the "investment" part...

Re: How Exotic!!
I'm a little surprised that the issue of rarity wasn't mentioned. This must be an incredibly rare machine...

Re: How Exotic!!
Yes, it's truly one of a kind! Maybe if seller included the cigar store Indian, the carpet, and the console radio (?) pictured with the rare Victor, it would rate a bid of, oh, say $38.fran604g wrote:I'm a little surprised that the issue of rarity wasn't mentioned.

" i am having some one who knows about this piece to verify its authenticity that's why we price our items high so that we have more time to research our items and potential customers as well!!"
Interesting. Seems to me it would be smarter to do the research before listing it at an admittedly high price.
