Great to hear from you! I've been thinking hard over this one, for sure! However, it's a pretty cabinet, and after having had it for four months, I haven't even played it more than once. The period model gets most of the playing time these days, not to mention everything else.

Best,

Garret

Well, since you're young enough, it might find its way to you again, someday...

I know what it's like to favor some machines over others, but the finish on this one is so nice.

Now you know why I am having trouble selling it! It's not for a lack of interest. Save for some slight crazing and fading to one side, this Victrola XVIII is basically brand new. It remind's me of Orthosean's XVI in his kitchen.

Hey, every kitchen should have a nice XVI in it!

Nice? It's practically brand new!

I am open to offers!

Is there really no serious interest? Just a couple of years ago, everybody wanted one. And to think that this is probably the nicest one I have seen for sale! Wild.

Back to the top it goes!

I'd be interested if I didn't already have one, Garret.

I appreciate the kind words. I'd definitely keep this one, but I clearly don't have the room, and I'm planning on returning to school full-time in the next year or two, likely for a combinetion of business and medical studies, depending on how my current coursework proceeds.
