Sorry for the confusion.
On another forum I frequent, folks often post about a great deal or cool and unusual machine they found at a garage or estate sale, auction etc. It's always good news when somebody digs up something really cool and/or for cheap. But of course we all like to see pictures too so if somebody posts without pictures, then it's a standard practice to post that they'd really like to see pics via saying that it's "all lies unless you post pictures". Just a good-natured nudge to snap a photo and post some "proof".
So I'm not actually accusing you of lying. It sounds really neat and I'd just enjoy seeing see a snapshot or few, especially since I'm on the other side of the globe.
But now that you've already stumbled, one of the pictures must include the object in question and yourself holding up a current dated newspaper.
