Nope, actually, it is the same.
Look at those photos on eBay by Dude Who Charged $700 OBO* for the Bell, and look at mine. Mine has the Roman Nose Lamp. His did, too, until it was removed and --nothing put back in its place--. Perhaps that was done to give it more at-a-glance resemblance to the Pfeffer 130, the name of which he was using to bolster his own price. Notice that that Bell has no lamp at all. None. It really is the identical machine to our $20 429s.
I'm confused -- I see a flat chrome faceplate on the ebay Bell. Is that what is behind the "roman nose" on your machine? I was wondering where the lamp was.

I keep forgetting to ask you...does your Phoenix use standard low shank feet?
