Do you think that is the main reason the lot sold for a fairly high amount ?

I imagine so, yes.

Pathé Concert in there, 3 good Columbia soundboxes, multiple HMV record cleaners, so who knows? It was a cheap lot anyway.

I find it sad to see so many items flung together unceremoniously in a box like that.
