In case your spouse thinks that all those Victrolas do the same thing....
Bit of a shame really. Well, unless you are into this sort of thing.

Re: Victrola sink
I realize that there is more to collecting than the monetary value, but if the seller gets $300 for this, it will be more than a Victrola like that would bring!
I never had any luck selling that lowboy style.

Looks like the motorboard was hacked to accommodate a 1950's changer-player ?

They might be talked into listing the door pulls, et. on ebay. Someone might be able to use that stuff and they could find something at Hobby Lobby that will work on what's left of this old girl.

Re: Victrola sink
A shame - that is the only humpback cabinet that had real style.
As to putting a sink in the cabinet, I've seen it done with one of the cheaper Victor consoles (a 110 I think) and it was quite a successful way of putting a small sink into a formal area. The best thing was the conversion of the label to "Any radio equipment in this case was not installed by the Victor Company - and neither was the sink"

Actually that's a pretty rare machine, a 330, basically the humpbacked lowboy version of the XVII/130... And this is the even rarer VE electric version. For a complete and original VE-330, I'd say 300 would be more than a bargain.
