Battle Creek

How much is a 1950 Battle Creek Health Builder (Vibrating Belt Machine) worth?

The unit is in excellent condition, still functions, and comes with the original 1950 instruction manual with illustrations. I can find very little info regarding the rarity and the value (original list or current). Is there any way I can find legitimate info? It’s Model MS-3 (Universal).

Road to Wellville [VHS] $14.95 This wrong-headed adaptation of the very funny (and scatological) novel by T.

The focus is split between three story lines: the life of cereal tycoon John Kellogg (Anthony Hopkins with buck teeth), who has created a health sp…
