A new addition in a beautiful cabinet.
Very good sound as well.

Re: Columbia Viva Tonal 711
Very nice! I fixed one for a customer awhile back and I really liked the way it sounded. If you take the motor apart, make sure you take notes on how it goes back together. They're deceivingly tricky to get working correctly 
Enjoy it!

Re: Columbia Viva Tonal 711
Thanks all.
Thanks for the heads up on the motor , I don’t plan on touching it. The motor is clean and runs well so hands off.

These are impressive gramophones. I've never seen one in the flesh, though...

Splendid colors on the front and great grain/finish in that wood! It looks as good as it will sound.
