These are nice machines. Congratulations!

I regretfully sold a very nice 230 (with a full set of albums) to a member of this forum. I know he has given it a good home, but if I were a bachelor, I'd have kept it...!

A very nice machine. I like the look of consoles, they fit today's interiors much better than uprights i think. That four spring motor must be nice too, that should run for 20 minutes when fully wound.
Thanks for sharing.

The model 230 to me was always the look taken from an 18---in console version, surprised the value isn't matching the 18. Very nice victrola

[pathe]

Well the 230 is the console version of the xvii (17) which sold 18,698 units and the 230 sold 3,395 12 units less than the 18 3,407 in the crank version .

[pathe]

Yes it should be as much as an 18 as it cost more when new,and sold fewer but most collectors prefer uprights or table top machines keeping the value lower
