Ebay tactics to squeeze every last dime out of a source. Much as when Ebay started selling front page slots to the highest bidder, and the "new listings" began to show only after you'd perused page after page of "newest listings because they'd bought that spot" items. Such is the case now with google, the results should still be there, but only after you've perused page after page of "payed for spots at the top".
The solution i've found is to add another keyword when this happens, a keyword that will never be on any item for sale, such as "old, used, ancient, scratched", etc
Vintage is always a good word to ad as well. May not work in this case, but is a good one.
I did some searching and found nothing. I agree with trying to open it up carefully and see what is in it. There could be a part number on a circuit board or something that will lead you to the correct answer.
