Just missed out on this one. Sold for $500.00 and I was second in line. SEE UPDATE

EDIT: It was a catch and release. Buyer paid by Paypal and wanted it shipped, which the seller was not willing to do so I was next inline and it is now home with me.

31 X 4min Amberol survived of the 37 in the box.
10 X 2min Gold Moulded ... All mouldy
7 X Blue Amberols all flat top. All in excellent condition.

The cylinders were not native to this machine as it is a 2min only machine.

Quick check on the machine, Spring holds no tension but I have a spare complete motor in the attic.

Don't get discouraged.
Something better is waiting down the road.

Sorry you missed out. It looks like a nice early Triumph complete with shaver. Better luck next time. Jerry B.

Stay tuned!
There has been new developments regarding this Triumph. It will also be interesting to see what is hidden in that box of cylinders.

I'm so glad to see that you got this. I actually saw it before you posted it here. Sometimes I check facebook marketplace in other states just to see what interesting things I can find.

Congrats
Martin
