Anyone know anything about the Close Encounters on Ebay?

Looking at this machine and considering transport costs (which will not be cheap) but anyone know anything about this machine?

There is no law against having fun just yet (but I am sure they are busy are drafting one!)

Waaaay too dear for this title, I sold an almost perfect one to a member for $600, just needed a Pascal and legs to be a very nice example. Anything over $1200 would want to be very nice, at $1500 you'd expect collector quality.

Would have to be fully restored to command that type of price.

Does look nice from the pics JD but I think transport from W.A. is going to kill any chance of a reasonable buy .

OK Gents, Many thanks what I can count on as usual. Frank and honest feedback and opinions which I appreciate.

Anyone else who has a Close encounters for sale count me in as interested.

Thanks
