It's amazing. This same piece-of-crap machine is listed again on Ebay and has received 45 bids, currently selling for $500 with more than a day remaining. The seller is still peddling the same charming story about a sweet little old lady who sold her the machine. At least she removed her earlier description stating that the machine dated from the early 1900s. I feel sorry for the eventual winner of this auction.

At least this one is listed as an "antique replica".

Sort of a "Diarrheaphone," in effect!
