Here are just a few of the interesting finds I came across tonight on craigslist.
Nice looking Aeolian for only $75! Is it walnut?

This isn't a steal, but if you are looking for a cabinet...
http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/atq/1621694552.html
I don't know enough about these models to comment on price. But it may be a fair deal.

Here is a nice VV-XVII with records in original albums. A bit expensive but don't see them too often.
http://newyork.craigslist.org/stn/atq/1621876959.html
I think this is flemish oak. It's a really attractive VV-XVI in my opinion and has the key and a full set of albums with it!
http://phoenix.craigslist.org/cph/atq/1621598644.html
Here is one of the nicest Silvertone phonographs I have seen for only $150.
http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/atq/1621919696.html
Cheap tabletop Victrola for $75.
http://worcester.craigslist.org/atq/1618850909.html
Here is a VE-220 for $60. It would be great for parts!
http://chicago.craigslist.org/wcl/atq/1621286982.html
Sorry to do this one, but at least it looks like quality work.
http://rochester.craigslist.org/atq/1620636954.html
Too expensive for me, but thought I would share this VV 8-30 anyway.
http://knoxville.craigslist.org/atq/1621707491.html
This isn't a rare find or anything. But if you look closely, there is a gold Diamond Disc reproducer next to the tonearm! : ) And for $100...might as well!
http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/atq/1621953251.html
Clean Claxtonola.
http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/atq/1621170485.html
Here is a $40 tabletop.
http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/atq/1620794633.html
Here is a VV 4-40 that may need rescued for $50.
http://columbia.craigslist.org/clt/1620758991.html
Fireside with maroon horn. Price is a little high still but sounds like he needs to get rid of it.
http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/ ... 02833.html
I have never heard of a Maxitone, but would love to have this one for only $100!!
http://burlington.craigslist.org/atq/1621415921.html
Here is a portable for $80.
http://fortcollins.craigslist.org/clt/1619527852.html
I think this is an attractive off-brander.
http://siouxcity.craigslist.org/for/1621837914.html
Look where the horn is on this one!!
http://grandrapids.craigslist.org/atq/1619919624.html
Attractive tabletop phono.
http://fortmyers.craigslist.org/lee/atq/1620295655.html
Needs some work...but for $95 I don't think it would be a bad deal.
http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/atq/1620412263.html
Wasn't there a thread recently about an Alba phono? Here is one:
http://omaha.craigslist.org/atq/1622379846.html
I know it's a lowboy...but for $95?
http://appleton.craigslist.org/atq/1622058347.html
This is a really nice Columbia music cabinet. I would love to have it!
http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/atq/1622412319.html
Not a bad price if it is in working condition.
http://cleveland.craigslist.org/atq/1619649425.html
Great looking Diamond Disc. What model is it?
http://bend.craigslist.org/atq/1621492887.html
This was a good start for the month of March. I would love to know if any of you end up with the listings I posted above. I thought there were some really good deals and some unique finds. Does anyone have any comments on any of the listings?

Re: March Craigslist Fun!!
That would be an A-250 or B-250. I don't know if it's possible to tell the two models apart from the photos.SonnyPhono wrote: Great looking Diamond Disc. What model is it?

Re: March Craigslist Fun!!
It would be interesting to see if that really is a XVII. The photo was lifted from "The Old Crank" site -- http://www.oldcrank.com/collection/vict ... closed.jpgHere is a nice VV-XVII with records in original albums. A bit expensive but don't see them too often.

The seller simply refers to it as an "Rca Victora Wide (sic) Up Victrola Good Condition."

Thanks for this thread. I just phoned and bought the Columbia matching record cabinet in Seattle. The seller is going to Portland for an antique sale and I'm going also. Perfect! Jerry Blais

Jerry,
I don't recall ever seeing one of those cabinets. Do you think perhaps someone slapped a decal on it? Keep us posted, please!

Stan S. in Portland has the identical cabinet with the decal on the inside. It's the matching cabinet for a Col BI. Yipee!

Re: March Craigslist Fun!!
Jerry,
I'm really glad you were able to capitalize on one of the listings posted. I have to admit that I am a bit jealous though. As I posted those listings one by one, I stopped to show my wife that cabinet as it looked to be in great condition and out of all of the things I found, it was probably the one I would have tried to buy had I been in a position to do so.
Congrats again and keep us informed if you would with some more pictures/info when you get it.

Re: March Craigslist Fun!!
Here is a group of 7 phonographs for only $350. Granted they need plenty of work and are common models. But hey, someone should bring them back to life!

Is this radio is a Victor factory addition?- it looks like someone just pushed a set into the record compartment.
