Seller wants $500! I might give $10 for the veneer to use for patching. What a shame!

I came across this, too. Sad. But, that price... :shock:

However, someone should start a conversation with the seller so it doesn't end up getting put out on a curb, etc.

Too much hot jazz in a humid environment. Maybe it was in one of Capone's establishments- note the broken legs.

On the other hand I am having a vision of possible future glory for this poor thing...

Is anyone interested in a walnut VE 230, with an extra electric motor, operators manual, and still has the gold bulb cover too. Issue ---top veneer is rough. Have never tried playing it in the over 30 years I've had it and would jump for $500 for it----the owners manual and gold lamp cover are very hard to find and worth a good part of the price. Sorry no pictures, I don't own a cell phone. It needs a good home and some TLC. I'll put it in the Trader section, if no one that contributed here has an interest. LOCATION---Roselle Park, New Jersey
