Congratulations on a fine machine Ben. There are many nice and helpful members on this board. It's good to have some young collectors coming along. I started out collecting phonographs in my teens about 44 years ago!

Congratulations to your new VV-XVI. I have a little bit earlier L-door myself and it is my preferred machine for playing records. You will get a lot of enjoyment out of that machine.

And a note in case anyone is wondering about the nickel reproducer: I just stole it off my VV-IV while I wait for parts to rebuild it...

Congratulations Benjamin. Your XVI is a beauty and having the original receipt is great!
My first antique phonograph purchase was a Victrola XVI when I was 13 (or is that XIII?). 48 years later, I still have it, and I hope you enjoy yours for at least that long!
(Mine didn't come with the receipt, darn it...)
