It certianly has to be one of the (much) better credenzas that have been on ebay. As I said before I will be watching to see how high this one goes. I wonder if recycle4u is still trying to flog his crapdenza

Yes, there are always Credenza's from him from my good ole home state of NJ... but the economy must be hurting him as well, it seems he used to sell for $1000-$1200, now $700-$800.

Also... I posted this at the beginning of the year, but worth bringing up for this thread... I suppose was Silvertone's version of a Credenza.

He seems very bent on sending those over to Asia...

Oh, I agree these look fine. BUT, in the past this seller has offered less than good credenza's for top prices..hence the comment. Perhaps he has run out of his "best" stock

Hey Guys -

I found this ad on Craigslist and thought it would work for this thread of Credenza clones... I have not seen this one before. It appears to be the Kimball version of the "Orthophonic" player.

LOL, So... I got these pictures from e-mailing the seller. Aside from the ROFL asking price of $6,000 tho, anyone seen this?

Gee that Kimball's nice! It's a weird tonearm though.

Richard,
This is the seller that Marcel bought a Credenza from, but the sale fell through because the seller decided it was too cheap & Marcel would have to pay an extra couple hundred dollars for the machine if he still wanted it.
This is also the guy with a rep for swapping parts around on his "original" machines.

Eric,
The Asian market is pretty big for ortho Vic's & HMV's, and for reasons stated above, I guess he's hoping to entice buyers overseas so he's less likely to have them seen in person

That Kimball looks quite nice, and to have some sort of folded horn as well. Still- five grand??
