Good luck Alisha. This one will be expensive.

I was offered one of these a couple of years ago for $1200.00, but was a bit unnerved by the shipping prospects, so I passed on it.

The irony is, it was in...Seattle! I wonder if it's still there...I lost contact with the seller.

I think this one will go for $3K+.

Paul, maybe JH would let you build those cabinets under license ;)

I know, just what you need, something ELSE to do.

I'm wondering how slipcovers fit on these...do they go on from the bottom? Front with snaps to hold them?

Inquiring minds wanna no.

Thanks DSWP,

I'd forgotten how cool those things look. I haven't seen one in person since the early 90s.

Well, I just put my final bid on it ($2500.00) and it did not crack the reserve. I'm out...

Odd, Dave...the high bidder listed does not seem to be you, unless you've changed your Ebay ID, and the high bid, though $2247 at this time, isn't near $2500.00. At any rate, with 17 minutes to go, reserve is not cracked.

There's obviously something about Ebay that I am missing here!

Hey Paul;

Ebay hides the bidders name now by inserting "**" in to them.

If you look at the bidder's list you can see me and I.D. me by the 103 positive feedback points only.
