Mata Hari with the golden lines.....

Part 1: Note that not all machines have this inscription on the dagger, making this one particularly rare. Looking on IPDB.org at photos of the dagger, there were only 2 out of 12 with the inscription, proving how special it is. 

Part 2: It is currently not working, but is only a blown fuse - we've had it fixed before and it only took 5 minutes, so it just needs a bit of TLC.

Best bit is it's only $2500 and non working

Wow what a bargain quick someone buy it before i do

Part 1: Given the inscription's significance, the machine would be a perfect addition to any local National Socialist Bier Hall ;)

Part 2: Ah those darn blowing fuses... someone should show them how to wrap a piece of cigarette foil over the damn thing once and for all!!

Nice find Tony :)  I say this won't get any bids ;)

Funny thing is they offered the game to me last week - for $3000!

So as Daniel said, it's a bargain 

[humpalot]

   I told them I'd take the project machine for $1000 if they delivered it to me on their way to Qld.   Still haven't received a response

Hang on, you will also get a pdf of the manul via email 

surely that is worth an extra $500 at the very elast

I think that death is still death no matter how you get there :)
