The seller is a jerk. Now if the motor were missing parts already or didn't work or the case was badly damaged, OK. This guy's only motive is profit, regardless of how he tries to justify it in his description of the item. He's thinking with his wallet.

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?
