[Phono-L] Interesting Sharpener for Cactus / Thorn Needles

2013-02-17 Thread Arvin Casas
Hi All,

I just spotted this interesting take on the rotary cactus/thorn needle
sharpener.  It's from the Yahoo Auctions section in Japan:

http://page18.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w83786020

Just wondering if folks have seen this before?  Is it new?  A reproduction?
Is it a kit? 

I don't speak Japanese so I have to rely on a google browser plug-in
translation, which is probably terrible.

 It may be a little overkil, but I just like its presentation.  I'm not at
liberty to drop 30,000 yen though.

Curioser and curioser,

Arvin

Looks new to me, especially with the blueprints underneath. And 30,000 yuan is 
$4,815 and change American.
