Shouldn't this sort of thing be under "EBay & Craigslist Alert?"

It can still be when placed in the correct section. As the moderator has stated....when the Ebay link is provided in a thread, it needs to be placed in the CL & Ebay section... ;).

I always look at where they are being shipped from ( INDIA) The sound box is always that metallic look from HMV and the horn elbow if has a horn it is normally soldered together at a 45 degree angle.. Then there is the HMV tag

Curt,

Well, there you go, you've ruined the forum...

You weren't trying to sell them, nor were you suggesting that anyone buy them. You were discussing "Machines", which is what this section is entitled.

I've seen a few of these on eBay lately with decals that look like they're off an old time Singer treadle sewing machine. They look pretty cool actually, though I would never want one.
