So the story goes like this:
I messaged an eBay seller (of NOS S.B. parts) asking if he knew of anyone selling a heavy-10. He said he had a "mint" one in his garage. After a few scheduled times, cancellations and reschedules, I got to go to his place and look at it.
My GOD it was is fantastic, HARDLY used condition. Like the entire machine... So tight, no wear on anything. Gears, all fresh. Even the undercarriage looked like it was wired up yesterday. The paint has some chips, but whatever... The machine is pristine - the best SB I've ever seen in my life.
The seller shook my hand and said we had a deal. $3K cash. Wouldn't take a deposit. But reassure me "the machine is yours, it's been sitting here, not advertised - it's yours". That was last Wed. Supposed to pick it up on Sat. Friday we touched base and Sat, became Sun. On Sat, I got the call, for him cancelling. Every last option I threw at him (Sunday morn, sunday night, during the week, etc, etc) he wouldn't go for. Now he won't return my calls. I even left a V.M. message offering $700 MORE to the price - and nothing.
What a huge let down, I'm still trying to come to grips with
Anyway - if anyone has a full cabinet model Heavy-10 they want to sell, then I want to talk to you. Obviously, it's gotta somewhat close to PA. If anyone knows of anyone who has one and maybe would want to sell, please let me know.
I'll be busy crying while I get over it
