I asked the seller to show the photo with the doors open. They messaged me back saying that they had done so and asked for a best offer. Just FYI... Best to you getting your hands on it.GregVTLA wrote: Wed Jul 07, 2021 7:00 pm I will be able to pick this machine up toward the end of the month if all goes to plan. That will get me the grille and a replacement back, which was a secondary need since it's just on the back. Possibly very exciting!
Happy to help!GregVTLA wrote: Wed Jul 07, 2021 10:38 pm Thank you Jerry!
I have the seller’s email now to ditch the eBay fees, so maybe he’ll feel better about a lower offer with no fees or taxes to deal with. Cutting out the middle man.
One more reason to wait: the grillcloth is not correct and it would be nearly impossible to find something that looks original.GregVTLA wrote: Wed Jul 21, 2021 10:26 am The guy is being decently difficult at $160. Maybe I can wear him out, but if he doesn’t budge by the end of the summer then he won’t have a sale as I’ll be in college. Just one of those things, I can always wait out another.

Wow. Patience pays off I guess. Was it the same seller, or did it go through another set of hands in the meanwhile?GregVTLA wrote: Sun Dec 01, 2024 8:10 am Funny enough, I just bought this exact unit off marketplace. I decided I'll just fix the grill myself. But I have it now!
