I have been watching this seller for 3 years. This seller always has these clean machines on Ebay and gets 4 times the real value. It looks like he applies something to the bedplates to make them look darker black. On other machines he definitely applies finishes on the cases. I have several completely original machines in almost showroom condition in my collection and the bedplates are not as deep black as his machines. This home was even missing pin stipe along the leading edge! On Oct 29, 2008, at 4:18 AM, Mark Dawson wrote:
