Uhh. I had the right time and the right address. It has a bent elbow and wrong reproducer . Nothing wrong with horn. I got there at 7 am and was already a long line. Sale started @ 9am I got a tub of records , edison diamond disc, cylinders and regular 78 they threw in. I had an extra elbow so put it on

Wow. Well, congrats. The original picture made the condition of the wood look worse. looks like it will clean up nicely.

Yeah , i could have flipped the u tube before pix. I did put the u tube on correctly and put an exhibition reproducer on it. Played it a little. And put it with the other four Victor V's. I hope to clean it Sunday.

The machine looks like it will clean up well.
I'd be interested to hear if there are any hidden gems in the boxes of records.

I spent two hours cleaning. I may refinish it later. I seem to be a very nice piece. Good stripes in back bracket. I went thru one crate with diamond disc and found n!gger fever. Several uncle josh and several negro records. I think the person must have collect that type of record. I cant wait to go through the cylinders and 78s
