Didi you folks check this out. What an incredible item for anyone's collection. The mandrel looks funky in the pictures, but overall very nice machine. Does anyone know how many of these were made? Right now it's at $25,000 with a few more hours to go.

That is why it looks black rather than nickeled. I remember seeing this machine at Clarence's in the late 60's. I have seen one other at Hathaway and Bowers Gallery in the 70's. I know of one M electric Concert that is not a coin-op. This is certainly an extremely rare machine. We will have to wait until all the snipe bids are over to see what it actually goes for. The machine was offered earlier at $50,000 with no takers.
