Saw this on CL in Los Angeles today:

I know I’ve seen this before. Some research turned up:

Looks like the same cab. And the 4th link I shared shows that 3 more might be on the way in the future.

I guess that solves the KLOV mystery of the sale price–the CL ad says $2k purchase price.

I was tempted to pick it up, but I probably won’t.

If somebody wants me to buy & ship, let me know. I’m not sure what it weighs when broken down, & all, & I’m rather swamped, but perhaps a very interested party & I can come up with something. Or, heck, just contact the guy directly–perhaps he still has the shipping box–I believe that it was shipped to him from the creator!

Thanks,

I believe this is the one, and it looks like maybe the Craigslist pics show some of the other cabinets in the video.

I saw that video a while ago and thought it was great. Can’t remember if I stumbled across it or was linked to it from here.

Wish I had one but he said he sold his first one for $2500 and that is way over my budget just for a 1 machine of any sort
