[MrGneiss]

Here is a very very interesting vintage....It has a crank on the front which looks like it works a ball lift on the back???!!!

Ahhh you beat me to it. I saw that one yesterday and forgot to post about it.

Very interesting concept. And I can see it might work very well on a vintage.

But what do I know.

Portage is within 40 minutes of my place, cool model never seen this before, I can't imagine a parlor setup like this. It has is a ball lifter, the hinge is on the right and I don't see a payout hopper? I am curious, It looks like it needs serious work, the wound ball tubes look tweeked. there is something missing, and there is no provision for lights. this would be another project I need to clone myself before i pickup any more side projects. If it is going cheap enough I would get it ans set it aside (HA) until I have the time, (HA HA) i was working untill 11:30 last night on Lddzzrit's wall light. I guess I could skip sleeping.
I contacted seller will follow up here.

SH, you should pick that one up and save a "child." That's a cool machine and you can bring it back!

reply from seller I asked if it works and how old it is.
IT Works somewhat,needs some minor repairs,I guess its from the 1940's??I am not a repair guy with these machines...thanks Tim V..

I won this contraption, now to go get it. The weather is good if the seller contacts me I will go get it today. It will be interesting just for the ball lifter portion.

Way to go! Keep us informed, Mike. That's a cool old machine!

[slothappy144]

Sir Carl? need the low down on that handle. Jeff is cross posting here. no swap cell. I am interested in the hand crank, looks like a model T or something. Weather is messing with my head no sleep last night so I skipped work. I could go get this in Portage if the seller replys soon, before my wife gets home.

[birdbrain]

I thought they were lurking in the pillars in the sidwalks, waiting to spring out on unsuspecting passersby ("If you wish to get by and get a tattoo, you must answer my questions three.......")
