...God forbid they do anything to justify that exorbitant buyer's premium

I find some Ebay sellers are just as ignorant. There is one seller in particular who sells stupidly expensive portables and on quite rare occasions, rare or interesting ones but who never bothers to respond to any questions, irrespective of how straightforward or legitimate the query is. What I find a bit irritating is that he still manages to sell stuff regardless, presumably to novices who don't know any better or care much beyond safe receipt of a shiny item.

They finally responded..

No pictures of the rest of the machine, but at least now we know what's in the mystery box

What is the soundbox please ?

Maybe a 'Saturn' ?

Would the soundbox connector type actually fit the gramophone sound arm ?

An EMG Davey cutter there though!
