Just called the seller. Very nice guy, and the machine is still unsold! Someone has emailed him asking about shipping...maybe someone here? he is not opposed to shipping, but thinks it would be expensive. If someone is trying to get it shipped, let me know...I will let you have a crack at it! I am going to keep an eye on it, if it is still unsold when I get my bills straight...I may just make a road trip! He says that it does work, except for some bulbs are burned out and he can't find the right type.
Putting it on hold for a minute...but I'm watching it!
