Yes, the fleabay one is high by about 20 fold, minimum, those things are hard to give away where I am, let alone sell for any amount of money, you would think that they could get a new needle for it at least? I think that you may be closer on the date then I was, now that I can see the control panel, the last time I saw one with similar chrome finished knobs it was sitting with a free sign on it next to the road, but it was shorter in length, and the cabinet was more of a "modern" style.
Regards
Arran
