I was surprised to see somone already bidding on this at $200, but I guess
including the tinypic helps reel 'em in, eh?

there's a number of factors at work the


#1. working SCP-2 stereo machines are VERY rare and command a decent
price if working properly. Even a stereo small portable will hit
$200. reason: they sound pretty good, stereo @ 3.75 IPS.

#2, this one has been tuned up- i.e. main idler cog turned down on a
lathe, and pinchroller rebult and shaved to spec. Then it was plug
and go.

#3, the single ended stereo tube amp w/6v6's inside, is worth $200
alone. last month I pulled a nearly identical unit from a phonograph
RCA console and it BIN'd at $200

#4. the format has a steadily growing, small, but loyal following on
Ebay. The players are a great toy to mess with.

Compared to what? A tin can and string?

If you did the work, it's probably running off-speed. Knowing that
you don't have any equipment, knowledge or references to measure tape
speed, I'd bet this is the case.

Well, no one ever said there weren't other morons like you out there,
Noodles. The only difference is, they have money (and are soon parted
from it) and you don't.

"Toy" is right.
