The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

It was a craigslist find. As luck would have it, it was there for 2 to 3 weeks before I saw it, if I remember correctly.It was pretty grimy and dirty,and the pictures were not very good, but the underside of the lid looked decent, so I took the chance and drove the hour to 1 ½. After all it was a XVII either way, and a very fair price for a non working machine.(broken spring) I'm still missing the back hatch and a correct knob, but hope to take care of both in due time.
