Cute machine. Is there much interest in the Japanese Victors over here?

This machine has a lot of character from the cabinet to the sound. Recently oiled, greased and adjusted. Sounds very good. I will throw in some records.

Ortho_Fan,

Thanks for pointing that out—I’d completely forgotten about it. I guess that there isn’t much demand for that machine currently, although maybe someone will pick it up now that it’s $50 cheaper.
