eBay: Early Columbia Coin-Op Project

[JPow]

Not mine and this doesn't interest me, but it might appeal to anyone looking for a project. Passing it along:

Be very cautious...The id tag is for a model B and not the BS. Years ago someone was taking model B machines and retrofitting the mechanisms into repro BS cases.. This example has many B parts but most of the coin op mechanism is gone....

cleveland1996 Thanks for your words of caution. Interestingly, I had this listing on my watchlist and noticed that the seller has ended the auction early for some reason. "This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available."

He probably ended it because someone gave him an offer that he thought was reasonable, since it wasn't going anywhere. Contrary to popular opinion, you can make early offers to any seller without waiting for the listing to end, even if there is no "Make An Offer" selection... it's then up to the seller to either accept it and end the listing or to decide to let it run its course...
