It looks really good in the pictures. I think it is an elegant machine and was a good purchase. Congratulations!

Sweet! I've always hear that an inordinate number of the 230 were purchased by dentists originally! ;) :lol:

Nice find!

Great machine. Is this one that has electrical amplification or is it an acoustic machine with an electric motor? I don't have my victor data book on me so I can't look it up.

Looks a cross between a 17 and 18 in a console . :shock:
