Lyon 500 Machine

Last night when I was on e-Bay, I saw a listing for a Lyon 500 machine... the starting bid was $500. The machine looked cosmetically nice. There was some wear on the fiberglass top and the coin mechanism was missing... but, overall, was a good looking machine. Today, when I went to look at the machine again, I couldn't find it... I wonder if the person pulled the auction from e-Bay because the machine might be so valuable. How much do you think a machine like that would fetch?

Welcome to the site...
If you do a search, you will find a few posts from the first time that machine was listed on ebay a few months ago... The auction got pulled from ebay, not because it was such a valuable machine, but because it was a scam auction..

Coolcat, Welcome aboard. That Lyon machine has some drama to it. Although I would buy it if the price is right.

Thanks for the heads-up... I was wondering whether a potential buyer would be able to protect himself if the auction were a scam (only through PayPal, I guess). My question was mostly out of morbid curiosity.
I posted a couple of times a while back... apparently, my userid was retired due to inactivity. I was working on a C-51. By the way, I have it working finally. My machine is in near-original condition. I replaced my compressor and condesor deck with one of Eric's units. It's working beautifully. I'll post a couple of pics in the next day or two.
