Just out of sheer curiosity... can you post some photos of the machine?

These are fantastically undervalued machines... any collector in the area should not dink around and get on this. The only reason I did not pick it up is geography.
Seriously. DO IT. You'll be glad you did. It's on par with a Credenza with a little bit brighter sound, in my opinion.

Re: Columbia Viva Tonal 810 - Free
Y'all aren't helping the temptation.....
I am about an hour or so from this machine.... but I am supposed to be downsizing and I am only picking and choosing at this point.
I am out of room and downsizing is on the horizon. But, these things keep coming out of the woodwork!!! Anybody else....?

If you see this later on FB Marketplace painted purple, with liquor bottles in it, and neon lights, you'll never forgive yourself.Granby wrote: Wed Aug 28, 2024 12:18 pm Y'all aren't helping the temptation.....I am about an hour or so from this machine.... but I am supposed to be downsizing and I am only picking and choosing at this point.

Granby, for Heaven's sake go get it!! If I was able to, it would already be gone. These are great machines that don't turn up every day.
