The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

The seller only has half a clue.

I thought the same thing when I looked at that listing last night. I love it when someone sells a rare or very expensive machine on eBay and include in the brief description that a couple of cylinders are included in the auction. You can tell the ones who don't know what they have when they take as much time describing a couple cylinder included in the auction as they do describing the rare phonograph they are selling.

I think the entire sale is a fraud.

With a seller transaction rating of '2', you may be right Eric.

Even allowing that the seller's first language may not be English this smells to me- he knows too little and yet too much.

Just an FYI for you collectors interested in this.......I emailed the guy a question and did not get any reply.

Although his 1 feedback was from some damn crazy fool with an established track record.
