Thanks Sean! I was considering buying a VE XVI recently but due to my limited space I had to pass. I am saving a spot for an Edison C19 I hope to buy shortly.

I have the same one Antique1973 has with an electric motor and it's another of my "I'll never part with it" machines. I bought mine when I was 15 from a brownstone in downtown Albany, right out of the original owner's living room. It's got all the albums and a universal electric motor. It's in gorgeous condition. They're nice machines. A few years later I found the same machine in fumed oak in a windup version, still have that one too. I've had a couple of L-Doors over the years, but the later XVIs are sentimental to me. Nice machines, guys!

XVI's are still on my "most wanted" list for sure. I would have to make space if I find one of those!
