DO YOU HAVE ANY PICTURES? I HAD A WHITES AMPHIBIAN IN THE EARLY 80'S, BUT I'M NOT SURE IF ITS THE SAME ONE.

Well that's about $86 US, right? I don't think you paid more than maybe about 2 or 3 times what it's worth so not too bad.

Seriously, that's like 30 year old technology...I doubt it will do very well for you but I suppose if you happen to trip over a gold ring laying on top of the samd it might actualky sound off. If it works. I doubt it will come with an instruction manual but low and behold, here's one for you...printed in 1975. Hope it helps!

Well if it's in nice shape and it works, it may have some value as a collector to the right person. Or somebody who lays awake at night pining for the good old days and that one machine that was like a well-worn favorite pair of jeans. You never know. If it sold once on eBay it will sell again.
