Recent find - Look!

Post by Jerry B. »

I've always been a sucker for nice big early Victrolas. Here's one that I couldn't resist. It needs a good cleaning and then you might see it on the Yankee Trader. I'll post some photos of the cleanup process. Jerry Blais

That one will have some fabulous grain contrast and color once its cleaned up. Nice L door Jerry!

Great!

You know, I have an empty one of those Peruvian Victor VI boxes. ;)

Sorry, I quite forgot that isn't the Seventies...


Beautiful machine! A little french polish will do wonders for it.

It looks pretty good as is and should be fabulous with a little cleaning.
