VERY good deal near Seattle

Here are the pictures of the machine in the Craigslist ad. I wish the ads didn't disappear so quickly!

If I wasn't on the wrong coast..!

It might not be a Credenza, but at that price, who cares??

out of curiosity, why a monarch? because it's an early model? I used to have one and remember only that the motor was pretty loud, and was only two springs (in that sense, I think the III is a much better performer)... now a monarch special or a victor V with an oak horn AND the three-spring motor, that would be worth stumbling across.

I'd settle for a III! I site the Monarch just of the topp of my head, and because they were so splendid looking. What I really want is an exterior horn machine with the best possible sound. There's one on cg in Seattle right now - but I'm still in the north woods...

Then you would want an Expert Xb (Oversize), wouldn't you?

Perhaps an HMV model 32 or a Dum Dum built Model 35?

Unfortunately, these splendid machines don't look like a stereotypical gramophone. Some might say that they were downright ugly.
