That is a great price and should not be too hard to bring back. Not sure if the left door is missing or simply missing the screws. I don't think that the turntable is special to this model? If not it should be easy enough to find.

Hey if anyone here gets it, I have a spare 12 inch turntable with green felt that should look great on this!

Notice the brake. You don't see that style very often, probably because it didn't work very well. I had a first model IX with this brake and most of the time you had to stop it by hand and even then it barely held the turntable.

A word of caution though. I bought one of these last year and when I got it, it had the wrong motor in it.

Now I have an unusable case with no motor, because the motor used in this is the same as would have been used in an outside horn machine.

So, if the motor is not right, then it is pretty much worthless.

btw, I have a case for sale if anyone wants it.

Any chance you unwanted Table Top X case is oak?

BEWARE - I've heard horror stories about bad packing from Shopgoodwill

This is a pick up only. They will not ship. Chances are the motor needs work, and the missing door will be tough to find. If someone has the correct parts to complete it, it will be a worthwhile project. This machine is not the earliest on Victrola X. The earliest ones had a bullet brake.

It went for $134.00. I think this is the same seller who sold that basket case Victor VI several months ago, that went for a ton of money.
