Look at the guy who bid on it, teufelsdreck, I don't know what teufels is but dreck is: dreck or drek n. Slang. 1. excrement; dung. 2. worthless trash; junk Steve My nomination for the Frank'n Phone for 2004 http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemcategory=26515item=6500362367rd=1 Looks good, but I have some suspicions - my dining room table has the same claw legs - Eternola Hungarian company post 1927 made electric driven machines (I think) - Unique HMV reproducer? - cheap portable phono motor Looks well made though...and if the horn support is original it may be worth the price (250), but I would'nt bet on it all the best Robert

He can't be all bad! Art Heller

Hallo I don't think that we should dung on the bidder, with the walnut and brass, it looks like something original. It would certainly look good on the back of a Harley. Notice the Lions Head ornament with the ring - obviously to attach the straps/rope to. Wishing you all a Great Christmas all the best Robert In a message dated 12/23/2004 7:37:47 PM Mountain Standard Time, steve_nor...@msn.com writes: Look at the guy who bid on it, teufelsdreck, I don't know what teufels is but dreck is: dreck or drek n.

Hi Art, He is probably a very nice guy and your translation sounds much better, I was just thinking that Devilsdung described the way the phono he bid on appears, at least to me he described the phono. Actually, his bid seems to have lets some credibility to the phono. Steve So his ebay name really means Devilsdung. Not really so bad as an ebay name, I must say! He's interested in Jazz records.

Steve Devil's Dung is also a nickname for Asefoetida- an extremely powerful smelling (stinking?) medicinal gum used as a stomach remedy and an ingredient in eastern cooking. It tastes much better than it smells. Eric Stott
