Frankly $1000 for a period model is cheap.
However at the end of the day it's a fancy cabinet.

Well it's good to see that this stuff still exists out in the wild. Wonder what the serial # is.

Well, the good news is, at that price we won't see it on Pintrest with mirrors, neon lights, pink paint & whiskey bottles stuffed inside its gutted cabinet.

Ooh, that doesn't match a stick of my furniture at all.
I like it, but the "regular" Victrolas still blend in with houses better.

You buy machines to match your furniture? Interesting. If anything I've tried the opposite but I gave up years ago.VanEpsFan1914 wrote: Mon Apr 24, 2023 12:36 pm Ooh, that doesn't match a stick of my furniture at all.

I do like that particular Victrola though. I'm not keen on the basic models as they can be a little like coffins.

Re: Jacobean Victrola - FB Marketplace, Lansing, MI
Oh absolutely none of my furniture matches--I call my accumulation style "Early American Landfill" and if anyone asks me my favorite interior designer I say my style is closer to that of the Collyer Brothers.
I just recently bought the first bedstead I've owned in 10 years. It is a heavy old Eastlake Victorian double bedstead in black walnut which is funny because all my other Victorian furniture is oak or some cheap wood, and all my other walnut furniture isn't Eastlake (an 1858 cabinet organ and a 1928 Brunswick phonograph.) Jacobean furniture though is just--It looks like it needs to be next to matching furniture in the same pattern, or like it would be making an anachronistic appearance in the background of a Dutch painting.
