This has been on eBay for several weeks now and the price has come down considerably since the first listing. I looked at it many times, but Nebraska is simply too far for me to pick up. If I was closer it would already be in my house.

Price is right and condition look pretty good.

Wish it were closer to New Jersey. Not many walnut models show up.

I could pick it up on my way to Union. If you marked on a map where people drive to and from to get to Union, it would look like a giant spider. It's not too difficult to get things from point A to point B. Jerry Blais

A few years ago this would have been snatched up. It does look refinished and may have had some of the hardware replaced. Look at where prices are today? A Borgia II that looks really nice for less than $500.00?? I remember finding one in Michigan 30 years ago and the guy wanted $500.00. At the time I couldn't afford it. $500.00 was worth a lot more back then.

I couldn't get a decent price for my walnut XVI either so I will just hold onto it for now.

Still didn't sell..

Price now at $375 Buy It Now. Did you ever??

Pretty amazing.. A different location might have sold it... But
it has been played with.

It has been in the back of my mind too, one of a couple of potentially good buys I've seen lately. But there is the distance and, for me, where in the world to put any more. Phonographs keep creeping closer to my usual chair each day. I think soon they will begin to attack. Arrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggg!

P.S. The records are on the floor temporarily while I reinforce some shelves to hold them.
