The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Shots from the ad, for posterity:

I agree with Garret. I offered to get it to Union and that's 2500 miles from my driveway to the parking lot at Union. There are people that drive to Union from all over this country. There's an entire network of collectors that make connections there. If you consider all the machines that trade hands at Union, a significant number are pre-sold and are simply making their way to new owners in other parts of the country. Jerry

(Besides, How'm I s'posed to get it from Spokane to Idaho?)

You aren't. While on Spokane craigslist, the Victrola is listed as being in Post Falls, Idaho.
