Default 66 red eye price
My friend, just got a red eye 66 in a cabinet for $20.
Machine is pristine....cabinet is another story....needs
full restore. But price for machine alone was a steal.

One went for $25, the rest for $10 each! OMG....my DH had to hold my hands so I couldn't bid on them. LOL. I still have my treadle that I bought at the same auction house last year for $20. Still needs to be "serviced" and the cabinet needs refinishing.

Ah well... Can't believe the prices were so low. Is this typical or just a New Hampshire thing?
