Why don't you post a photo or some more information about the machine? Because the link you provided only takes you to the auction's web site not the credenza.

It appears to be in superb condition, but who in their right mind would pay that sort of money for a common Credenza??
I guess it just goes to show that machines in the very best condition will always get the very best money.

I was going to try bidding on the Victor 6. Glad I did not bother at that price.

WOW Many musical items brought over the top prices.

Here is the complete link:

I will say, having seen the collection a couple of times, that all their instruments were kept in tip-top condition and this autction was sure to bring out many buyers with very deep pockets.

Now every moron with a Credenza who hears about this auction is going to want the moon for their Credenzas. It will be the 'Barbara Streisand Buys Gustav Stickley's Sideboard' Syndrome all over again. May god have mercy on us all!

Yea and even though it's got a couple broken legs, missing a door and is painted with a brush they will still want $4600...

If that's an 8-30 with the turntable off center shouldn't it have the back bracket arm instead of the self-supporting arm?
