Hey! Look what I got!!!

Post by Marty Bufalini »

Hardly used at all. Winds and plays really quiet. Purchased from the original family for $200! From Craig's list -- thanks to Jerry Van for alerting me to this. I'll be filling out the A-250 data base soon.

VERY nice, Marty. And to think that all this time I thought Jerry Van was useless... (JUST KIDDING, JERRY! :lol: ) I think that by Yankee Trader standards from time to time you may have overspent, though.

But seriously, I've never cared much for the imposing bulk of big DD machines but that is one I would have in a heartbeat. If I am not mistaken, that's even an original grille cloth. :shock: Very nice. I am trusting you'll be posting some YouTube of this playing records, yes? Pretty please?

I hadn't thought of posting on YouTube. Maybe.

This was one of the extremely rare times when Jerry was useful. I'm not expecting it to happen again anytime soon!!!
