I just discovered that we are all restoring the wrong machines!!! oops

Just take a look at this!  I figure I will pick it up for about $1,800--clean it up and flip it for $2,500!  Afterall, the seller must know what he is talking about, right?

Yes but they do restore nicely. I agree with that. here is one I did. Under all that woodgrain it is just a Vendo 56. I just wish it had been worth $2,500 Smiley What are these people thinking.

There is also an ebay auction running for a late 60's V110 square top and the person claims it is from 1941 and is worth a fortune.

Wood Grain......as bad and as ugly some may think it is, it's pure 1970's Americana

Josh-i agree that it is a great machine and it has a lot of possibilities once the woodgrain is removed; however, one new in the box would not be worth that kind of money!
