I too got an email today that it sold for full up.

I also got confirmation from 2 members here that the artwork on this machine is correct and the same on their machines. Not a surprise it went quickly and for asking price.

I received a great phone call from my good phono friend, Dave G. today. His wife planned a vacation to the Philadelphia area to see the historic sites. They had a great time and on the way home his wife, Kathy, asked if they could stop and see an old friend. Dave said that would be fine so they got off the interstate and headed that direction. Upon arrival, Kathy greeted the lady as if they were old friends and she invited them in for a beverage and a visit. The first thing Dave noticed in the house was a beautifully decorated Victrola XVII. He immediately wondered if she had any idea of the value for such a rare machine. They had a nice visit and the lady surprised Dave by asking if he needed any help loading his Victrola. He said he was at a loss for words and was 100% surprised. I'd say he married the right gal.
