Found this today while brousing my local craiglist, thought it was pretty neat.  Never heard of them before.  Thought you guys would like it.  http://greenville.craigslist.org/bar/946110581.html

Now that is a gem, and quite collectable.

My friend has a late 50's Vellocette which was his fathers.  It's a reverse grounding system and he can't get a spark.  Does anybody know about these machines?
