I wish it did as well, but unfortunately I have still not been given access to the server on which the forum is hosted, otherwise it would have been fixed the day it stopped working.

I have owned a Credenza, a Viva-tonal 800, a Victrola 8-35, and a Brunswick Cortez, as well as an Edisonic Schubert. They are all impressive sounding machines! I still own the 800, the Edisonic, and the Cortez. The Cortez has a universal electric motor. When you play a good electric Diamond Disc on the Edisonic it can blow you away, but so can my VT 800 and my Cortez. I used to think only the 8-35 had the big metal exponential horn, but the 8-9 has the same horn. I think I would like to own a Credenza again sometime as I liked the wooden horn.

I like the Orthophonic Victrola's sound best. However, I also have heard some great Viva-Tonal records!
