What The Heck Is This Thing??

On Craigslist, the seller is asking $1500,000 for this. :lol: I think the person listing this is out of their mind. What do you think this monstrosity is?

I think it is one idiot looking for another idiot looking to buy this "machine". Anything to make a buck these days.

Indeed! What IS it..other than re-worked within an inch of its life. Dontcha love it when the photo that one really wants to see is all blurry? In these days of digital cams there is no excuse for that other than deliberate obfuscation.

As a professional photographer, I can say this with aclarity. Don't over-estimate the picture-taking abilities of certain types of people. Some people just can't get a good picture regardless of the automation of the camera.

It probably is a gutted cabinet that some fool built an inverted horn granophone in and then took a sheet of triplex and a jigsaw to make the most horrendous front I've ever seen. The bottom doors look to be taken from a 50s tea cabinet. Waht an absolute horror. A crapophone that deserves to be burnt to cinders.
