I have the second keyhole. I installed it a few weeks ago (I was waiting for the original screws to come in) - it's lookin' real good 8-)


BTW---interesting reproducer you have there. Is that an add-on attachment, or what? hooked up to it?

Good that you have the key hole plate.Only used on a few models.The gold reproducer "lifter" was on it and also the light attachment on the arm.I'm the second owner of the machine.this is the first model with the earlier reproducer (as you can see).I picked up a #2 for it but,never used it yet. :roll:

We must remember, that I live in a condo, and I do not want a large machine. Also, I am not too concerned too much about the design, on the out side. Plain and simple is fine, though not too simple, just not a lot of extra decorations, or doors. Although, I do like the darker wood, similar to mahogany, or a nice dark stained wood.

I will just keep my eye out for a nice one, that runs, and won't need a whole lot of work, or none if possible.

A VV-100 is a fairly common more affordable model that seems to fit your requirements. Its a smaller machine that may fit well in your condo. I am happy with mine even if its not one of the more sought after models. There are some pics in this previous thread to give you an idea.
