That doesn’t make sense

When I look at that page, the only shipping quote it gives is for $102.85.

Trying to upload a screenshot, but the system isn't letting me for some reason, I'll try later.

Found another seller with the same lamps, more for the lamps but a LOT less for the shipping Cheesy

The ones I'm referring to are more appropriately called spirit duplicators. They had a relatively fast copy-per-minute, provided you turned the crank fast enough (although not too fast as you would spray alcohol everywhere and yield very mediocre results). They consisted of a drum onto which the "stencil" (which wasn't really a stencil) was placed. It rotated and through a system of wicks, the sheets of paper would be pre wetted in alcohol and pressed against the drum, making a 'stamp' of the original. They were messy, but not like the original mimeograph, which had thick molasses-like ink.

We had one at school that our maths teacher used when he was setting problems for the whole class to solve.

Well I'd like some, but $102.85 for the shipping is a little OTT Shocked

If anybody gets some and could send me a couple slightly cheaper, I'd appreciate it Grin

Just tell that to those 40 year old M-400's with open ignitors that are still in service. Voltages surges are the worst enemy of any component.
