Actually, I guess I don't think like the scammers, which may be naive... I never thought of the idea of sending a fraudulent money order and I assumed that the seller would wait until it cleared before sending the item. As for sending cash - I have mailed cash payments to Germany, Australia,

Columbia 2/4 upgrade parts seem very rare to me, I can tell you all about the Edison ones, but I know nothing about Columbia. I would really appreciate someone taking the time to explain when Columbia made the upgrade kits and what machines they fit. With regards to the home and triumph there
