Advice on Columbia AO
I'm planning on tomorrow to head down to an antique store in my area to purchase a Columbia AO. As someone who is unfamiliar with Columbia cylinder machines, I would ask your advice on this topic. What should I inspect/look for before buying it? What price range should I know before attempting to make an offer? Below is the best picture of the machine from their recent craigslist post on new arrivals.

According to the owner, he answered the craigslist ad and was set to come down Monday, but he no-showed. I haven’t spoken with him in some time, but I hope he’s alright.fmblizz wrote:what happen to the original post from Dutchman?? Two members going after the same machine I guess..

I was wrapped up in purchasing a new home and by the time I got free I was not in the mood for a 5 hour round trip down and backRolandVV-360 wrote:According to the owner, he answered the craigslist ad and was set to come down Monday, but he no-showed.
