A fantastic machine on eBay. Now if you can just remember where you put that quarter mill you stashed away around the house. :?

There was a very nice Multiphone for sale at the recent North Carolina show in Charlotte. I believe the asking price for it was 153K.

I not sure, but I don't think the NC seller was from Texas.

Probably one of Paul Baker's heavily restored machines. He's sitting on three of them.

Although Rick Wilkens is selling the Multiphone on eBay, the guy demonstrating it on YouTube isn't Rick Wilkens.
