Enigma machine on eBay!

As far as I know there are only two genuine ones left in the world. One is in Bletchley Park and the other is owned by Mick Jagger!

ERrrm, no. There are thousands (well, at least hundreds) out there still in existence.

This guy has a few of them, and schleps them to hamfests:

At the last one I saw him at (back in September), he had a complete Wehrmacht Enigma for sale, with all of the rotors, for $20,000.

Four rotor Naval Enigmas are extremely rare, though.

You should be able to contact him at his website. Besides which, he is a ham radio operator, so you could look his callsign (W1TP) up on qrz.com

If I were going to be paying 100k for that, then I would not do so via mail or ebay...I would fork over the extra money and go there in person with an expert to make darn sure I got what I was paying for...

I am the owner of an enigma machine too. In fact, it's part of my collection of exotic artifacts. Have no idea how it works...bought it for $20 when I purchased SH3. What a bargain....

I'm getting the law on this. There is in fact a post WWII law about these items... but guns and the like are OK.

EDIT: You know, this thing isn't worth 100K, right? I had one that was in exceptional condition and it was only worth about 10K. Then that *******ing idiot burned it with a bible saying that IT'S OF THE DEMONS!:rotfl:
