Well, it is from a 'smoking home' (who actually says that ?) apparently, so it's not to be sniffed at .........Steve wrote: Tue Jan 20, 2026 5:54 am https://denhams.com/lot/534/october-202 ... hatgpt.com

Re: Stunning condition HMV 194 sold at auction
Yes, it is, but nowhere near as nice. Interestingly, this auctioneer had the ridiculously cheap 511 a week ago and now has another identical one (but definitely not THE same one) following the 194 your link is to. I might just pay them a visit on Saturday as they're not too far away, actually open on a Saturday and both machines are in a live auction. If nothing else I might hopefully be able to find out where they're all coming from.epigramophone wrote: Tue Jan 20, 2026 7:04 am This 194 is still available :

Oh, it's near to me too. I wonder if this thing is too heavy to throw into the back of my car ?Steve wrote: Tue Jan 20, 2026 9:43 amYes, it is, but nowhere near as nice.

Sure, I will send you my usual 5 page non-disclosure agreement before-hand. There are a few more stipulated protocol clauses and draconian penalties for non-adherence etc than the last time ha ha !Steve wrote: Wed Jan 21, 2026 4:26 amShall I meet you there?poodling around wrote: Tue Jan 20, 2026 1:35 pmOh, it's near to me too.

Seriously though, that would have been really great but I won't be going to this particular auction - I just wondered really how heavy this would be ? Very heavy I guess ?
