They just didn't get much paint on the non visible surfaces. This is probably the way they were originally since white doesn't cover well. Maybe he was going for a 100% accurate restoration

I bet it doesn't make the reserve.

But it sure is one really cool machine. And I sure would love to add it to my small collection.

Josh, I don't think it's been restored, and seller states original as well, I'd bet it's an original...

a failure; something that fails to perform as intended. (See also duds.) : The whole idea turned out to be a dud.

The people that did not want to take a chance in guessing a price  or play along. that all smile.

OK, now that I have been able to get on and see the pictures of the machine...DAMN, that's a nice looking machine!   jawdrop  I would have to venture a guess of $5400 (but it won't be me!   down  )  Should be much more, but the economy is not helping!

original is original , broken louvre or not it's still a darn nice machine,,, would be fun to have.. last one I heard sell for near me went for 5500 so I'd say at least that.. but not sure what reserve is?

WHY restore something that nice?   Oo 

There aren't very many nice ORIGINAL machines out there.  When they look that good, they should be left alone (in my humble opinion).  When they are all done up perfect, they almost look fake to me.  Something 50-60 years old should have a couple character marks.  Now, when you find a rusted/abused machine, sure...restore the heck out of it!

Just my cent-and-a-half...

Be nice uncle Lar,,, you honestly don't think he does stuff like that do you.  C'mon its possible to find the rarest machines ever in double digits no less. And be the only one in the world to find them. He has a letter from a former VMC employee that says so. I wonder if his name is Simon (sez)

The first machine was worth 5000.00 easy.  Sleepwalk's is a 2500.00 machine in my book.  It is a straight machine but needs to be restored.
