Early Credenza in Yahoo Auction Japan

[Watanabehi]

Here is an Early Credenza in Yahoo Auction Japan. It is very expensive. But of course, here in US, it is very cheap.

I remember just before the economy tanked in 2009 that a Credenza could regularly run over $1k. I even had to double check the price guide in the last Look for the Dog to confirm that my memory wasn't faulty, and the book listed a Credenza as valued between $900 and $2k. I even recall an L-Door XVI would run a good $600 to 800. I also remember a good number of phonographs were being shipped to Japan, where the prices were even crazier. Not sure if the recession chased collectors away, or they just started dropping dead, but the phonograph market never recovered afterwards.

edit: just saw this was my 666th post.

Japan also manufactured a bunch of RCA Victor phonographs. They look exactly like the regular models. There was a post on this forum of the models but sadly it is gone. Tom

Yes, like VV 1-50 to VV 1-91, which is similar to VV 1-90. The cheaper Japanese table top model has a straight horn, but vv 1-91 has a similar horn as vv 1-90's horn. I used to have those in Japan.
