Hello Folks I am horrified to see what it sold for. I suspect the seller is being cagey when he says "Someone who knows has way arround gramophones will know how old this one is , I can't tell because I don't know enough about these things ."What a tidy disclaimer. Why would you buy it in the first place if you knew nothing about it? This guy's name is radioseller, which one would think implies some knowledge of antique sound producing equipment. Please note before you flame me that I only said I SUSPECT the seller is being misleading. I am not making accusations, and this is all just my conjecture of course, and it is a buyer beware world on ebay, but spending over $2,000 on this..what a sad, sad loss for the buyer.Oh well. John Robles
