EBAY SCAM: Universal Record Lathe Western Electric

It's been a while since I've seen this scam in action, but it's back just in time for the Christmas season. I'm not sure why the scammers/robots use this particular model/listing/pictures but I've seen it probably 20 times. I've reported the auction, I would suggest others do the same. Usually this type of thing happens when someone's account gets hijacked, usually an old inactive account.
