It's good if you are a buyer now, sure, but if you are a seller with a machine
you bought five or ten years ago, it is hard to get your money back. I bought

$2,357.99 and 28 bids later, the rigid arm Victor E sold... I'm glad I sold
mine a couple of years ago for $3,500. That machine was one of those things

The Puck machines were made in Germany, starting with the original lyric design
