pretty steep price for a machine that hasn't ran for "a decade or so"... If it was newly restored, we'd be talking. I would think a more reasonable asking price would be half that. Maybe 3k. I hope someone here can snag this at a reasonable price. I'd love to see it in the community!

I wouldn't be surprised if its already been snapped up, these are incredibly rare and sought after.I've heard of collectors in Europe paying almost twice that for an un-restored one!

They don't come up very often in the 1 group config. I know a collector who has paid well over 10k euro for an unrestored one.

Hello
27 years before they bought at 50$...Just the design is not the myth in the cup.

My heart skipped a couple of beats (because I'll be in Seattle this week for my birthday and holiday shopping) and then I saw the price. Dang!

One of the coolest of the cool. I think it was Kitt who recently restored one? Anyway, cost is relative. The sellers know what they have, but it will probably sell fast.

And to add... it's some laughable that the seller claims it worked just fine in SF a decade ago. LOL...

Can someone say arbitrage? Unfortunately, I don't have that sort of liquidity. Or solidity.
