Doghouse,
What is the "smile" for ? I ASSUME it's the price, but us stoopid colonists, have no idea as to the value of anything that is not a US buck--and I sometimes wonder about that !! Ron Rich

Hi Ron,

He's asking over $5,800 for that jukebox and the records which although all jukeboxes are more expensive over here that one would probabably sell for well under $1,500. So that's an awful lot of cash for 2000 records "sight unseen."
Still, you do get some optomists on eBay.

Doghouse.

There must be a lot of "pinheads" out there--both sellers attempting to sell stuff that is pure "junk", and those who are willing to purchase it. At the moment there are two Seeburg, "LS-2 keyboards" on the list at a high price. Neither is complete, nor even usable---This seller has had these listed several times, just looking for a "sucker" as far as I can see. There are also a couple more "things" that get re-listed, time after time, at very high prices. by various sellers. Ron Rich

I've lost count the number of times this fluorescent tube has been listed.
I can't see howevwr well it's packed, it'd survive our Post Office delivery system intact.
In any event, I know of an electrical wholesaler who stocks the "odd" sized T12s, at about half the price that this would cost delivered.

This is the same dealer I mentioned before.

He wants $6,000 for it and it isn't even a visible mechanism.
