You can't keep a good scam down apparently. I noticed that it also briefly surfaced on Dec 1. When will it show up next??

It was back, ended Jan. 7. I say we start a lottery. How many times can you use the same phonograph as bait for a phishing scam. I think it's currently up to 5 or 6. If he really has it, it's a shame because it looks like a nice one. Of course he could have just cloned some old listing.

Add one more time to the list....it has returned. 0 Feedback seller in Lithuania, but it now of $330 with the exact same pictures:

That was fast, the last sighting was an auction that closed on January 29. I think this makes 7 listings for this under 7 different seller names, all Lithuania with 1 or 0 feedback. Eventually he might run out of seller names to think of. At least he rearranges the photos on ebay.

I should have bought one when they offer two (LOL) at $300.00. Now that was a deal. Maybe I can send one of the sellers the money first before they list. Then, I can be assured to be ripped off.... .

Out of curiosity does anyone recognize the photos from this listing as coming from another website, forum, etc? It has a Canadian Berliner travelling arm on a US body. I doubt they actually possess this, since they could have made real money actually selling it. The picture looks like it was taken in someones workshop.

I think your referring to the little flat piece of metal mounted under the front of the arm just behind the yolk. This is a late US trade-mark. I think that is correct on the late model. In fact, you can see the closed face reproducer has a "C" instead of the "J". That is for Clark and was the last of the closed face as far as I know.

I leave it to your expertise Wayne. I was going by that piece of metal and what looks like the shadow of a decal on the arm in one of the photos. I agree the brake also puts it as a late trademark.
