FOR SALE: Victrola VV-405-S $150

Post by GregVTLA »

I'd like to sell my Victrola 405 S. It's in really good overall shape with an exception - the lids have been water damaged and will require some repair. Other than that, it's in good condition. The motor runs smoothly and the Victrola NO. 2 reproducer is included with the parts to rebuild. I would've rebuild it myself but I can't get one of the screws out so I'll leave that to the next owner. There is no radio in the left side and the record rack is still present. Also included are the original albums in excellent shape. They're correct for this machine and have been with it since new (as far as I know). This was purchased down the road in the spring, and I wanted to restore it myself but the arrival of a Seeburg 147M "trashcan" jukebox has convinced me it's time to let this one go. Please PM me if you're interested, I'm open to offers.

Pickup in MD about 30 minutes from DC, or free delivery to the Wayne show.

Thanks for looking! Greg

There is a limited interest in this type of Victrola and hopefully you find a buyer.

Well I hope someone ends up being interested! This is a pretty nice one and I'd hate to part it out.

I think it's great. Very beautiful cabinet, should sound excellent. Not too much to restore and at a great price.
Unfortunately there's just no room at my place!

I've got the bottom legs for one I junked if someone really wants to tackle this. Honestly I think there are way to many of these out there that are in better condition. I would use the albums to make another machine more complete.

I appreciate the input. Yes there are many of them but I hope someone is willing to fix this one up! I'd just like to see this go to a good home.

It's worth fixing, I think. This one is a model I rather like--but right now I don't have room, have a tiny car, and am currently out of a job & trying to publish my first book, so this one's going to be a "no" for me.

Hope someone else steps up and goes for it! The woodgrain is nice and consoles are perfect machines for people who just like listening to records.

I'm going to give this one more bump before I consider parting it out. I'd hate to do it, but if the demand isn't there then the parts can live on to complete another.

I hate to say this, but parts will yield more in this case and not likely break too many hearts. I have a super nice 405 in storage that I've had for 30 years. It's beautiful and I love it, but I don't have the space for it, so there it stays, I may eventually end up parting mine out if I can't sell it cheap when the time comes.
