Thank you to all that replied.

You buy the machine not the story...if you have mechanical aptitude and want to buy an old machine then go for it.
Could be the mechinism is jammed or fan stuck or lots of other things. Price seems a tad high for a non operational Pace
But we all pay too much for a machine once in a while!

Sounds like either an indexing or lube problem. If your unable to spin the rotary escalator by hand it's a lube problem. If it spins by hand but not when played the wheel alignment may be off which is the indexing problem.

I looked at the ad and I would jump all over that if it were closer. Looks very nice, though not rare like he thinks.

Now let me get this straight.
"I lost the key" - but - "Everything inside - the reels and labels - look original".
My Guess would be 'Ex-ray Vision' ??????

Aside from that, I would buy it at $950 Locked. There can't be that much wrong with it.
No way, almost twice the price, running.
