When is a viewer not an Oliver Whales viewer?

[coin-op]

I have to ask the question, does the bidding on this item reflect the view that this is an Oliver Whales 3D viewer? If so, sadly someone is in for a rude awakening. Although, to be fair to the seller, it’s not described as a Whales viewer, the fact it has Oliver Whales artwork tends to imply that it is. My feeling is that someone might be a tad disappointed.

I agree, glad I saw your post. After scrutinising the pictures enlarged you can absolutely see the difference in quality to the photo's of the OW viewers shown on this site. Thank you!

Yes, the original machines use earlier technology and more robust components (as shown below).

I too noticed this item, and was interested as I own an original O W viewer. I came to exactly the same conclusion as coin-op.
It finished at £1070!!!!!!
