Pathé Actuelle on CL
There seemed to be quite a bit of interest in one of these yesterday. I thought I would share with the forum what I found for an Actuelle. It is listed on Craigslist in Portland Maine (http://maine.craigslist.org/atq/2593197228.html). This is the seller's email address [email protected]. He is asking $600. I wish it was closer to Montana.

One of these is on my short list (although Lord knows where I would put it). If it were close I might grab it. Who needs to eat for the next month after all?

Ed,
Your collection is definitely worth making a pilgrimage to see. Hahaha. You should just start charging entry.

Moxie; Wish you were closer to N.C. I would love to show youall all these machines. i have done shows for the local museum and used several machines in history lessons for my students when I was teaching. I always believe that you should share knowledge and experiences with others, and I am always willing. Ed
