No, the Donley's sold a while ago and I don't know if the Oliphants sold
their machine.

Hi Erich, My understanding from what I heard at Union is that it is indeed the

For what it's worth, the eBay listing showed that the Donley's sold their
Idelia for $31,100 (not $31,500) to Phonogalerie in Paris. It was a model
D2 with O reproducer and outstanding 12 panel MG horn with wood grain
finish. Interesting that the Oliphants were selling the same machine at
Why would anyone buy a machine for 31,100 and turn around and offer it for
$32.000. The financial risk is huge for such a small return. An Idelia is
a highly speculative investment at that level, with only appeal to a small
elite segment of the hobby. I wouldnt invest $32k in anything that
I guess it is possible that the eBay sale did not go through for some
reason, and the owners elected to sell the Idelia for a lower price. If,
for example, they sold it for 24K, than to resell for 32K would bring a
reasonable profit.

It's NOT the same machine. The one sold by the Donley's is still in Paris. I
saw it there last month. It is D2 with an O reproducer in top-mount
carraige. The one at Union was a Model B with a conventional carriage with C
reproducer. They are two different machines.
Best regards,

Thanks for clearing that up Rene. I heard that three times at Union and
figured that had to be the case. John

Rene, did you see the Ideilia here? -- http://www.phonogalerie.com
I didn't know you were in Paris. By the way, the above website has
several photos of the big Bergmann tinfoil machine. I assume it was
made by Bill Ptacek?

Yes, I finally visited Phonogalerie. An amazing shop! Too bad the exchange
rate is so dismal for US buyers, there are some fine treasures there. Of
course, some of those treasures have been shipped over in recent months,
precisely
because of the exchange rate. A $31K Idelia is only about
14 matches
