The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I've been watching this machine on ebay, thought it was a pretty good deal for a nice looking, complete XVI (albums and everything) in that custom finish... unfortunately, it was just too far away for me (didn't have time for the four-plus hour trip...

but was wondering whether anyone here may have been lucky enough to pick it up?

That looks like a great machine—I figure that even if anyone here didn’t pick it up, it no doubt went to a good home.

How rare is this finish on this machine?
