Nice little machine. I had never seen one like that. Heck I have seen very few Vivatonals of any kind till I bought a British portable and in January an American Vivatonal portable. Never saw larger ones or even table tops. A great find for you. Neil

Jaso,

Thanks for the photos and for the information about the machine and the missing spring loaded Bakelite stopper (collar) at the spindle axle. I really appreciate it. It's cool to see another machine just like mine.

I sent you a PM about the missing collar part.

Neil,

Yeah I really like the machine. It's my first Vivatonal and the sound it produces when playing electrically recorded records is amazing! A real power house from a little box :-)
