Missing sound doors, so probably for parts. Cheap. Not mine.

The text says it still has doors, they just need to be reinstalled.

Looks like part of one of the legs is broken off, still, at that price . . . .

Lid lock works seem to be missing (see third photo).

Re: eBay: VV-XVI for parts in Ashland, VA
Come now, gentlemen, be not faint of heart! It has its flaws, but it looks to me like a fairly easily restorable machine, as long as the motor's okay. I don't see anything wrong with the feet, except that the casters are gone.
Enhanced a little, it looks pretty good. There seems to be a slim strip of veneer missing from the left door (as well as the knob) and some delamination around the edges, but the carvings look fine. The most worrying damage seems to be a fairly sizeable hunk out of the molding to the right of the missing lock. The lock itself should be easily obtainable, no?
The finish looks dry, but good overall. Some New Life or Howard's could bring this right back, I think. Definitely some work to do here, but it's far from parts material in my estimation -- could be a nice deal for someone, with two days left and no bids yet...certainly worth the trouble.- Attachments

Hi John! -- Heck no, I saw it first right here. I just don't see all that much wrong with it, is all.

Conjecture: the key was lost, the owner pried the lid open, damaging the wood (notice that big gap to the right of the lock inset, third photo above). Machine has seen a fair amount of abuse.
