What's wrong with the price, Harvey??? After all it is a rare, unusual, one of
a kind Edison Victrola cylinder player that uses needles... bet you don't have

motorize your decrepit Home or Triumph with one without much grief.

Probably because most of us have seen or encountered crapo-franken-phones, while extremely few of us either own or use rare
