Nice! I have a VV 4-3 in my garage and hope when I get it working *someday* it sounds as nice as yours. I have a working VV-XI but heard the Orthophonics are nicer.

Many thanks. I honestly have cleaned this cabinet, had the tone arm support replaced (one pricey repair), did minor lubing on the motor, and well, that was it. I haven't played with the soundbox at all...I need to sell an Edison Standard D cylinder player, but afterwards I might just got get a nice brass repro reproducer or get the original pot metal one rebuilt.

Great record! I recently acquired that record with the purchase of a 1951 Zenith phonograph/radio combo model H664.
