Hi thank  you for asking the ? First let me say this this is a research study
to see  how much % of people will bid on this item with out asking any ? The
item  is worded to sell a photo or picture of the phonograph, in  this


I'm sorry--but this was just plain fraud.  The seller  ADDED the words "in 
the" as an addendum--meaning "the item in the pictures"  indicating that the 
item was being sold--not the pictures.  He now states  that it was his research 
study.  It's too bad we have people like this on  eBay.  However, it does make 
bidding interesting--if highly  risky. 
Luckily, with such a limited field of collecting, one has a  chance of 
knowing who you are dealing with.  And thanks to  phono-L!!
