What's this?

[epigramophone]

An attractive cabinet of good quality, but typically only one picture. I have asked the auctioneers for more.

Very interesting indeed.

Raised supports ?

I’m curious to know what the auctioneer means by ‘on raised supports’. Does the body of the machine lift off the leg stand or is this a regular one piece cabinet. I was only notified of this auction this morning which only leaves a day to the sale so it will be interesting to see if more pictures are forthcoming. I hope you can post some even if after the auction.

"Raised Supports" may be auction speak for legs ! They never use one word when more will confuse.

Very true!

"Heavily patinated finish" = Rust...

The second picture the auctioneer has posted isn’t particularly helpful. I suspect the machine is anonymous.

You get notified? Wow, no wonder I miss stuff. I've never received a notice.

However the stupid thing with these auctioneers is that they consistently refuse to give more than a days notice of an auction. Phillip Serrell is exactly the same! How are prospective buyers going to get time to visit the item before a sale or drop everything at the 11th hour to dash to a sale? Don't they understand what proper advance notice is or planning? Some of us have a life and aren't just sat there 24/7 refreshing our screens waiting for these clots to possibly upload something interesting.

Hey, don't diss 'watching the wheels go round and round' and all other forms of the futility of human existence ....

I watched / listened to the auction and seem to recall it went for £ 45.

Thanks for the update as the ‘Auctioneer has chosen not to publish the price of this lot’.
