Nice mechanism, not so nice looking. Still a bit of a rarity, and cheap at $80.

Note description says "Old winedup Record player 78 rpm."

So it's already drunk, you don't have to spend extra for the booze.

These are super cool. The Duo-Vox reproducer supposedly plays nice with Diamond Discs, and the big cabinet is not super valuable but they're nice when you want to set small phonos on top of them. Lowboy cabinets are fun.

The cabinet probably would clean up really well.

That’s an interesting tonearm. I assume that it will play lateral and vertical records.

I wouldn't think it'll play DDs so well. At the least it would wear them a fair bit.

Look it up. Wyatt Markus wrote favorably of the design of the Bush & Lane Duo-Vox reproducers. They're a pretty good idea.

If I were young, on a budget and just starting out.....I would at least make them an offer. Hey, you never know what records come with it and any other accessories.... ;)

I always make on offer on everything. It literally never hurts to ask.... and if they haggle you'll save some money!

It even seems like it has some of the original Bush and Lane albums with it!
