New to me:An oak L-Door XVI

Post by Phono-Phan »

This turned up just a couple of miles from me. It should clean up very well. I have had a number of the mahogany L-Door XVI machines but this it the first oak one. I just need to replace the nickel plated reproducer with a gold plated one.

Nice phonograph. They sure look good in oak. It seems to be in excellent condition. Did it come with the albums.?? Tom

No albums. But it did come with a DD reproducer.

That’s a beautiful machine. I am partial to Oak. It seems to age better than Mahogany and each piece is distinctive. Nice find. Tab or bullet brake?

Beautiful machine. I have an oak Victrola XVI, but it's a late one. I prefer these to mahogany as well.
