It's a variation of the M and I didn't want to leave it out... my fault.

Thanks for the great responses. I always find myself looking at the Vic III....over and over and the motor is quieter than the the M...you are right. I like both but I think I lean toward the Vic III...can't choose though!

If you want an early novelty go with the M for the reason it's early. If you want to play records and use the machine go with the 3 and don't look back.

You could just end this quandary and get both

That would probably be my choice much to my wife's chagrin but I've tried to be good lately.

Notice I said "tried".

If you could buy everything you wanted at any time, with no regard for the price, it wouldn't be any fun would it?

Ha Hah! But I already have both! Just can't decide which I like better.

That's like asking which of your kids you like better. Answer is, they are all different, but you love them all the same.

yep...you're right!
