    Maybe not better equip, maybe just a couple more views of it, maybe one with a yardstick beside it (or something) for size comparison.

    That was just the tip of the iceberg ; ) You could add measurements as in "measures _high _wide, platters are _diameter"

    It's not too late to pull it, and tomorrow's a good day to start it back. If you prelist it by a couple hours(the best ten cents you'll ever spend on ebay), when the start time comes, it'll open on page one, as opposed to just tossing it out and waiting for it to show up, because it won't show up for awhile, and by then it'll be on page 80 something. There's 4 US time zones to consider, I found around 1PM Pacific to work great, that's just after lunch on the west coast, and 4PM on the East coast, everyone is still in their offices and you'd be surprised how many spend friday afternoon shopping online Then you'll have a full weekend, a full week, and another full weekend for the collectors to find it and bid. (they're not looking for these items every day, that's why giving it as much time as possible is in your best interest) Monday afternoon is a good closing time too, those same people who were browsing on Friday will be there Monday as well.
    "Vintage" in your header will get more hits than "for collector or parts". If I remember correctly you have 56 spaces in the header, use each and every one with the best keywords that will fit there, and it doesn't need to be readable as in a sentence, people will understand ( Using the CL "trailer/trailor" analogy isn't so good on ebay, use proper spelling), Hard drive HDD however, is. But use them all, in the best possible way, even if you have to stoop to posting "trailer trailor traylor traieler trailere trailre lol
