Linotype on ebay
Friends,
A friend of mine sent the attached picture of a Linotype machine on eBay. He is asking which model it might be and what the large black box on the lower right corner is.
Can anyone pitch in?
thanks,
Steve

The black box is the electrical box, with the throat heater rheostat dial in front, and fuses, contacts, etc. inside.
good luck getting the paint off it. Could be an 8 or 31. hard to tell from just one picture.
Paint is easier to strip than rust.
