TRADE: Victor VE 8-35 in Nice Original Condition w/ Albums

I have a very nice, original Orthophonic Victor VE 8-35 for trade. It has a new back bracket and the motor has been recently lubricated. The reproducer is in pretty good shape and plays but has not been rebuilt. The original grill cloth and 12 leather albums are present and very presentable.

The original finish is outstanding except for one little veneer chip on the right drawer. Overall a very solid machine.

I am looking for large late 1920's radios, electronic phonographs, or radio/phonographs. Need not be in working condition. Ideally looking for a Sonora A-36 radio or A-40 radio/phono, a nice Columbia Kolster radio/phonograph, or a nice Kolster radio. I'd love to find a Sonora A-46 but I am not sure it was really produced as I have never seen or heard of one. Or something else along these lines? I am located in New Hampshire and hope to be able to travel freely sometime in the future. Or come here and see the rest of my collection.

That is a really nice machine!! If you were not so far, I would certainly be coming up with a trade for you. These 8-35's are very nice and the sound is great! And with the Albums, that makes the machine.

It is a Sonora A-40. I saw it when it was first posted. It is also on Facebook marketplace. I can't past the refinish job.
I would consider a refinished A-36 or an A-46 but the A-40 is more common.
