Milhous Auction Credenza sold for $4600.00

[Starkton]

Interestingly, many of the larger organs and pianos sold well below their estimates. Predictable in this time of crisis.

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?

I've seen several just like that, including the one I used to own. It was all original, as far as I could tell, with the under-support plate stuck to the lacquer varnish, and the felt washer sitting in the well.

I've seen the tonearm with the back bracket installed on the (later) ones with the "record rest" on the left side of the turntable.

The last Credenza's in the 40,000 to 50,000 range had offset turntables and the nice self supporting
tone arms. The feet and cabinet base molding are definitely Credenza.

The chunks broken off the pot-metal soundbox prolly added $1000 in value - they make it more authentically antique.

$8000 for a mahogany L-door?

And did you notice what someone did to that poor L-door? First I'm guessing it is completely refinished...and note pictures 3 and 4. Rather than putting the Victrola decal in the centre of the lid, they put it on the lower edge (and not a very good decal at that).

And what's up with the bright yellow turntable felt?

That decal looks like a "made in China" special. The original decal must have been obliterated
when they stripped the cabinet. Heinous.
