Is it that hard to post a few photos here? Finding these on your web site isn’t that easy.

It's $16.5K. It's a very early one, before they added a start/stop lever or reproducer cradle (serial #891). It's 100% original and in great condition. The only flaws are that the tiny block that fits over the stylus bar is missing, and there are tiny teeth marks on the knob of the winding lever. A kitten, perhaps? I've only ever seen one lever-wind in nicer condition.I cant afford this machine Rene , but i thought some other members of of the Forum might want to see them .
Thanks Eric
