Well, £77 pounds so far.
Lots of little bids again, so will this be like the 'phonograph'
viewtopic.php?f=14&t=46584&start=10
where a new bidder pops in at the last minute and successfully buys it ?
Ebay is exciting to watch !

I bought the real thing recently for £169 including postage. Why so cheap? The seller's pictures were so bad that it could have been mistaken for a standard black version.

Here is the plaque on my Teak 102c :
It is such a shame that your photo has disappeared.
May I ask please, does the plaque on your teak 102 state W102C ?

This reminds me. Last year I collected an HMV No. 5 oak base horn gramophone with incorrect mahogany horn on it (how come so few people seem to know the difference?) from a private seller on Ebay in Southampton. When I collected it I spotted the seller had a concourse condition teak 102 in his office. I asked if he would be interested in selling it? He declined so I simply added I would be very interested if he ever changed his mind and indicated I thought an offer of £600 was probably on the money. He simply added that he'd probably never sell it.
Oh well. If only..........
