VE-Sheraton No. 500

Post by mattrx »

Over the weekend I was traveling and a friend sent me information about a Victrola for sale near home. I contacted the seller and went today to take a look and purchase the machine. It turned out to be a pretty interesting machine with lots of inlay detail. It will need some TLC, but will turn out to be a really nice machine with a little effort.

Bravo, Matt. Always liked those Art Models, but lord do they take up space! Can't wait to see what this looks like once it's restored!

Looks like just a simple thorough cleaning with GoJo will already reveal a glorious machine! Bravo!
