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.

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.
