I believe it's back on eBay? http://r.ebay.com/THp5oe If this is it, I take it eBay didn't mind her canceling the won part auctions?

Re: [Phono-L] Amberola III saga on EBay - an update with a twist
Wow, what a zoo! The mandrel looks all gouged up. Horrors! Taken apart, and put back together by someone who obviously has no clue. What a shame. Better than parting it out though, but still evil.
