You are so very lucky! Thanks for sharing that great story.
Ahh... but remember... Dreams Can Come True. Otherwise why would we bother conjuring up the impossible? I'm sending thoughts of impending treasures your way!audiophile102 wrote: Sat Sep 25, 2021 11:21 pm I can only dream of owning such a treasure. It really is quite beautiful. Congratulations.

Prodigal son indeed! Yeah... I always hated hearing those stories from older collectors of "the one that got away". Fortunately I've seldom if ever parted with a machine unless it was to upgrade the same model. This one I knew was going to one of the good guys and it would be given the kind of restoration it deserved. I was just lucky, that's all, and Bill was just honorable - as he always is!tictalk wrote: Sun Sep 26, 2021 11:03 am Congratulations That is a beauty! I bought one in the early days of my collecting in the 1990's for $150, it was missing the grill , I painstakingly refinished it myself , I had more energy back then , ran an ad in Michigan Antique Phonograph Society classifieds wanting a grill , well someone called me up from California ( you know how those guys are, offered me $1000 for it and off to California it went. I was a newby collector that just fell off the pumpkin truck and have regretted it ever since, I am still looking for its replacement. It is nice to hear that your protocol son has returned. Larry

It definitely holds a place of honor... right alongside the Symphony Grand!
