Hi Guys,

I have a nearly perfect Godley/Creme Gizmotron that I have had in storage
forever. Used it once in the early '80's. It's the six string model. Anyone
know what one of these is worth or where I might be able to find the value?
It's a real collectors item but I'm upgrading my stuff and can't afford collector's
items if I want to get new toys.

Thanks Mucho,
Jon

Stick it on e-bay... that's a sure-fire way of establishing the
true value for anything. For something unique like that,
someone somewhere is prolly gonna want it.

This from a friend in the know....

"WELL. It's an interesting device, but not worth much I'm afraid. He
might try selling it on Ebay....the problem is this: there are 6
little delren wheels (motor driven) that fatigue with both age and
use. They are either broken or largely unused and ABOUT to break. Most
people that know anything about the Gizmo are aware of this and
usually shy away or are only interested in a parts piece."

There you go! :-)

David.

Thanks David - Based on what you said I just went to the storage closet and
pulled the Gizmo out of its perfect original packaging......all the barely
used, but ancient delrin rings just fell out. I had to laugh.

Oh well maybe someone on ebay wants to buy a broken one!

Thanks again for the info!

Chees,
Jon

Just saw your other post - I guess I should take back what
I said, because it was predicated on my assumption that the
unit you have actually WORKED!
