There is another fellow on eBay that sells machines in parts right here in the US...and his prices are very high. I was tempted to buy an original Fireside gear cover with nice original striping to replace the one I have with decals..but he wanted $55 for it. I couldn't rationalize it. I feel that dissecting a perfectly good, working machine like a science class frog is an abomination of nature tho! John Robles

However, I am not willing to spend my money to buy all the parts and put them back together again for the sake of a happy family. On the other hand, many times, one phonograph can yield enough parts to transplant into many machines that might otherwise be discarded. There are probably other ways to look at this, too.

OK, for the seller it may lead to profit maximization, but as a purist, I cannot help having the feeling its somehow not right to separate a machine thats been together for 90 years? Just wondering if there's any feeling on this Here the link - click on View seller's other items to see the rest http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1442&item=6512564964&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW thanks Rob _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
