For $3,400.oo USD, I'm glad "IT WORKS"... :shock:

This is more realistically priced at $75
If I had the room, I'd be tempted. However, I'm not quite sure about that reproducer. It's difficult to tell from the low-res. picture.

How about this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/AMAZING-ANTIQUE ... 4ac328b2a5

THREE GRAND for a VV-50 portable, with the wrong carrying handle and what appears to be burnt orange suede leather on the turntable. The dealer must be using crack.

But, it comes with one of those extremely rare Victor records that plays from the left side of the spindle ! ;)

He's also asking about $200 bucks for a run of the mill 1960's Zenith clock radio - bot of course it's "one of a kind"

Obviously these sellers are in touch with the market for their merchandise. That clock radio is the only one he has, so....
