The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Yesterday an Idelia appeared on ebay from a seller with zero feedback. The auction kind of read in a way to raise some red flags. Today the auction was gone off my watch list and there was an email from ebay that for security reasons the auction was cancelled by ebay.

Does anyone recognise the photo as having been purloined from somewhere else? Unfortunately I did not save the whole descripton.

I can tell right off the bat, that that is not the right crank, I think that one is off a Kimball.

If I remember correctly, the auction did mention the winder was incorrect, the belt was missing, as is the horn & crane.

This kind of made the auction seem correct, so not sure why ebay pulled the auction.

I contacted the seller...his buy it now price was £6300
Looks like it appeared on craigslist back in Jan
