looks like the 2nd hand market price of these things finaly took a hit, much like the world economy.

i wonder how long it is before someone twigs that these machines were knocked up in a factory in china, as a exotic get rich quick scheme...

Mines the one with made in PRC stamped on the bottom... but in encrypted format

Is this how they discovered...

After the war, the British kept secret their ability to routinely crack the Enigma and sold the Enigma as a commercial high-strength encryption system.

Genius.

Actually they found 27, but one is the Enigma which I will not explain.
