The auction says 1906, but I am thinking 1910. The boxes are in nice shape and the machine has the VTLA style motor board and tone arm bracket. The machine has a few issues, but the record boxes seem to more than make up for that. Was records too, (maybe some nice early examples, that would have to be determined). I'm thinking about it, but I wanted to put it here in case this was someone's dream machine.

Geez, the boxes alone are worth the asking price, or close to it. Looks like a good clean, a spring repaired or replaced and you'd have a decent machine. Drawers come up for sale often enough.
I already have 5 L-doors, all different, so hopefully someone here will grab it and save it.

I used the Buy it Now. The boxes are too scarce to passs up. I was going to be in Wayne New Jersey for the show, so I will run down to PA and get teh machine and goodies on that Saturday afternoon. I haven't decided whether or not to keep the machine or try to sell it in the parking lot on Sunday. If anyone is interested in the machine alone, please PM me.
Thanks

You pushed me over the edge, (it was really more of a nudge).OrthoSean wrote:Geez, the boxes alone are worth the asking price, or close to it. Looks like a good clean, a spring repaired or replaced and you'd have a decent machine. Drawers come up for sale often enough.

Glad you got it. I live 15 miles away and was very tempted.
