Post by: Chris on September 11, 2011, 07:18:29 pm I saw that yesterday. I can't figure out how he thought "The machine has been completely dismantled and rebuilt from top to bottom." I thing he stopped somewhere along the way.

also noteworthy are the deck is shown mounted in a machine with vertical louvers in the left background, the Jacobs has horizontal fins...Oops! See red arrows in picture...

Title: Re: Something seems to be missing... Post by: SIGNGUY on September 12, 2011, 04:57:13 pm The guy does state in one of the questions for seller that he forgot to put photo on of the drum.. wether the drum and internals where restored, and he just posted photos of it during restoration? not sure.. but if he is calling that inside door painted black restored, I'd be suspicious as well.

Title: Re: Something seems to be missing... Post by: halehouse on September 12, 2011, 05:30:05 pm How does one put a whole auction together like that, for that price, and forget to take a picture of the machine without the insides put together?
