I emailed the seller to see if I could pay for and pick up the machine in person, something I often do on questionable auctions, regardless of the location. If they respond "yes", that adds to their credibility. If they respond "no", then beware.

Sometimes the comedy just writes itself. But what a beautiful machine. r. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> Subject: [Phono-L] a cheap Idelia????? > This is interesting.............................. > > http://cgi.ebay.com/EDISON-IDELIA-D2-CYLINDER-PHONOGRAPH_W0QQitemZ6603884768 QQcategoryZ38029QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list [email protected] Phono-L Archive http://www.oldcrank.org/pipermail/phono-l/
