I have two of these and only need one. This one has a new cord and belts. It seems to work and shave OK. When I used it last week, it did need a spin to get it going, but once I started shaving, it would start and stop with no problem. Some surface rust. Since this is an old electrical device, it is sold as-is. I take no responsibility for its performance or your safety. That said, I did use it for about an hour and it didn't kill me or set my house on fire. Price is $45.00 cash. Pick up only in Covina, CA (about 20 miles east of Los Angeles). If interested, please PM me. Thanks!

Curiously, it looks a heck of a lot like the
Dictaphone model 10 shaver I found on Madison,
Wisc. Craigslist last winter for $25.
It was rusty as all getout, had mouse nest
in motor compartment, belts completely disintegrated. But, to my great surprise, it
all ended up coming apart and cleaning up nicely
and it works very well.
Not exactly sure why these Ediphone and Dictaphone brand shaving machines would share such similar-looking parts, but I swear that
if they are not dead-on interchangeable parts
they sure look like close copies between the
two companies.
Yes, once one starts using shaving machines
a lot, there is just no such thing as having
too many of them! One more is always welcome.
Too bad Tampa, FL is so far from LA.
If it was just a little closer, I'd drive over
and buy it from you right now.
