WANTED: Victrola Cromwell (VV 12-1)

Subject: WANTED: Victrola Cromwell (12-1)



Did you find a Cromwell or did anyone get back to you on your search for one? I have one but I’m in Florida. If you have interest and are willing to pay for freight, I’m willing to pack it in such an over the top manner to handle the journey. I have used FreightCenter.com to get a variety of quotes from well established trucking carriers. If you can pick it up at the trucking depot in your area, as I could drop it off at my local depot (as to opposed to residential pickup/drop-off) the price gets real cheap.

For posterity, here’s some photos:

That is a beauty!! Wayne knows how to pack these for a safe transport.

Yes very nice !

FOUND: Victrola Cromwell (12-1)

Does that mean you just found Wayne's, or had already found one before his offering?

It means he bought my 12-1.

Excellent, for both of you.

This Cromwell is all boxed up with 2-3” thick styrofoam board on all sides. It’s packed so it stands off its feet and the loose items packed under the cabinet with no pressure on the legs stretcher. I’ll be dropping it off at the trucking terminal to save the buyer pickup and liftgate charges. Freight is $401 FL to CA. with residential delivery (would have been a lot less if the buyer had the means to pick it up at the trucking terminal at his end). I use FreightCenter.com to get a list of quotes from respectable national carriers. I highly recommend you all to check them out, use freight class # 125.

Note the license label and instruction tag are present and in good shape.

Note also this machine has a speaker upgrade using a Jensen 4A Dynamic speaker and its external transformer.
