    ok, am I just tired? This photo claims to have been taken in 1973 of a "100 year old machine"

    This DOES NOT look like an 1873 machine that I have even seen...

    This makes my heart hurt... http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=218...chine&ad_cid=5

    Then this makes me think he's smoking way too much to ask for this amount: http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=218...chine&ad_cid=2

    Edit: if you're bored and would like to scope out some pricey gems: http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=231...sults=12&pid=0

    Methinks there's an extra digit on that serial number that hasn't been counted... http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=218...hine&ad_cid=11

    Yeah, it was a zero, it was added to the back of the price.

    Sometimes I have to ask what was I smoking. I had this one on my watch list, got busy with life, and missed the ending. Kicking self. Whoever bought this one got a seriously good deal. The stool alone is worth more than he paid.

    That was quite the deal! If it was within 100 miles of me I would want it.

    I'm sort of coveting this beast. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Kenm...item4173a11496 Look at the size of that body! Between that one and this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tchlink:top:en i can't tell which one i like more. LOL

    this one looks like a clone right? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Vint...item2c6f2532d0

    Last but not least, if anyone is looking to play and fix this beauty it's a steal for the current auction price: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Kenm...item3a81629373 I suspect a thread nest and a good oiling will get her up and running again.
