I upped my offer to $75.00, and told him to call me back if it didn't sell in a month. I also told him what he needed to photograph to help it sell. Turns out it came into his family in 1961, and was never used. It was just a piece of furniture, basically. His sister, who was supposed to get it from his 74 y/o mother, had painted it during the "antique-ing" craze of the 60's.
Also, I'm a West Coast / East Coast swing DJ, and he is a swing dancer! Turns out he knew who I was... so that was cool! We talked more about dancing than we did the machine.
You know... you're right, Sonny. I think I should give him a call and try to set up a viewing. You never know. I'm thinking there's nothing but run-of-the-mill BAs in there... but there could be that one cylinder that pays for the machine. I doubt it, but you never know what's lurking around.
That's true, they could have a real jewel lying around on the side. I found out when I bought some diamond discs from a CL ad recently that the seller just happened to have 29 Edison cylinders as well. It made an already good deal even better!
