Do they ever show up on ebay? Does anyone use one of these machines?
I've seen a couple on ebay.... quite a while ago though. Reports are that the new plastic models aren't as reliable as the older ones.
If it's for personal use... I'd suggest getting a Moss scuttle to keep my lather warm instead. It works and it's dead simple plus I just could not give up the joy of using a badger hair brush, but that's me.

Scored an old cambells latherking model JJ a few years ago for $56.00. They work very well as expected.
The down side is that they require weekly cleaning or they clog up. Their lather mix requires common sense with ones hard water level. The reccomended amount does not work well with hard water. additional liquid soap does the trick.
The art of shaving uses them with their own creams. I've had luck with chunks of cheap shave soap pucks sitting in the water/soap reservoir. Pick one up if you like shaving stuff. Does one man need one. Absolutely not. I personally like just having my antique chrome one for my shaving collection. Good luck. MikeB
They take away the fun of the brush.
