And it returns....

Different seller....different horn....but clearly a frankenphone (problems of dataplate and backbracket clear on close up).

And what exactly does Original Restored Finish" mean? is it restored or is it original?

Always interesting to look back at what other things people have sold. In one case here, you see a variety of phonographs, styles, types, prices. In another you see really high priced machines with surprisingly similar (and rare and sought after) features. Reminds me of what some people say about luck. It does look like a good business model, however.

I see the above Ebay seller "Brads Antiques" was not only able to get his e-mail address past the Ebay police but also his phone number.

Can you say goodbye final value fee's.. LOL

Well with 5 and a half days to go, the bidding is at $6900. 12 bids from 3 bidders.

I guess I need to change the horns on a couple of my machines and put them on Ebay and watch the bidding frenzy.
