A tough call. Once you sell something it is no longer up to you what happens to it. Maybe you should arrange for her to see/hear it if you are close enough and try to determine if she hopes to modify the machine or if she just doesn't understand what you said.

A woman has been making serious inquiries on it. Her first question: Does it have a bracket and horn? I said no and I explained that Victrolas have the horns on the inside behind the doors. She writes back and says "A bracket, elbow and horn would amplify the sound. Where are you located?". I said that adding those items to this machine would make it a fake, something it was never meant to be. My dilemma? I want to sell the machine, and I have had very little response. She's the first serious one. But I am concerned that if I sell to her she will mangle it. After almost 100 years of life, I don't want to be the one that sells it to Dr Frankenstein. Or am I just being too sentimental? I've sold lots of phonos in my time, and I don't know what happened to them after I sold them. I'd like to hear your opinions!
