I have purchased from this person before. Slow in communicating but good to deal with. My machine arrive missing a part, he sent me the right parts, no charge of course.

Great looking machine!

It appearsto be the real thing, keep in mind these are beng imported to the USA now by the truck load..as in the clocks and furniture in the 70's many are unused.. my only question would be , looking so great what isn't there decals still on the hand . which is what makes the value.

as of now 5 hrs left, the total is near $110 USD , which a top level price for that machine

he is moving back to the UK (at the end of this month he said). He goes over there for a while, collects machines, ships them back here, then comes here and sells (as best as I can figure)

He has mostly handcranks because they come from the UK

One of these days when I go over there (family in London) I'll leave my clothing behind and fill my luggage with machines for the trip back!!

I've bought from him too - and agree on the "communication" I was desperate to know when my machine was coming as I was going out of town and it was suppose to rain. It showed up before he got back to me letting me know when he shipped (TX to SD).

Mine is a 28k from 1895 with a coffin top case, and had the original attachments in the old box. I was missing one foot that I managed to snag with a partial set that came with two feet.
