Title: Vendo 56
Post by: killer71 on May 17, 2018, 09:20:50 pm
I’m interested in buying a nice round top 56.  It doesn’t have to be restored, just solid, complete, and cooling.

Great machine, one of my favorites. Not a real tough machine to get, usually pop up on ebay from time to time.

This one is not mine but on CL in Portland area. This one is very nice.

Yes...it's mine. Thanks for the help! It's a very good machine and the only thing wrong with it is the cord is frayed. If I was keeping it, I would replace the cord.

I thought that was yours but I didn't want to assume. That's a good deal at $2,800. The 56 is tough to find as a nice original for whatever reason. Never understood why pricing on the 56 is lined with the 81, maybe even slightly less when it is far tougher to find. I think only because most people don't know the 56 exists.

I have shipped machines all over the country and I'm willing to ship it if needed.
