HMV 163 in (very) Northern California

I got momentarily excited, seeing the grille which looks a lot like that of the fabled 203, but nope, it's the somewhat lesser model 163. But they are no slouch, sound-wise, either.

I've spoken with the owners and confirmed it's a 163, and also made comments to help reduce their pricing expectation. They are willing and capable of conveying it down from their mountain location to Red Bluff or maybe Chico, which might make it easier.

Sounds like it could be of interest to the Oregon Faction.

that's peculiar, as another oak 163 that looked identical to this machine just sold in california through craigslist - within the past week - and the posted asking price was 300 or 350. I'm curious whether it was the same machine.

Except this one is mahogany, and they're not collectors and have had it for a while.

wrong machine, my apologies.
