CL--BRUNSWICK 117--Shoreline, Wa

Post by Lah Ca »

Interesting Brunswick machine, seemingly in excellent condition.

$400 US

The esthetics of the finish do not appeal to me personally.

And, although, I do not know much about Ultona tone arms, I don't think the the reproducer is in the right position for playing that Victor disk, but hey ... I could be wrong.

It appears it had the dreaded "antiquing" finish done to it, so prevalent in the 70s.

The same "restorer" has added what looks like a Victor ID plate. Why?

That's a business card from Walt Sommers, just laying there.

The vendor says the finish is original, and a CL vendor wouldn't tell lies now, would they? ;)

It does have the original finish, underneath that white/beige goop.
