Any news at all? Every time I open this forum, I hope to see some good news about this lost machine.

Be patient, customs may be slow for these things.

What's the tracking number? I may be able to trace for you. PM me the number if you would like me to check. Did she send postal service?

The thing the cylinders go on looks much larger than what I've seen on the internet! :lol:
They work without horns, but they would be very quiet
If I were a troll, I would not post on the Talking Machine Forum; I would live under a bridge, post on Reddit, and eat goats for dinner!

Well... Sometimes and especially if the packages are heavy, or randomly, the customs stop something for inspection. In my experience this can take two or three months to arrive. I once suffered one of these with 78s from the US, and another time was with springs and needles from the UK, here near me, some 1000 away... But ..!
