The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Early VV-XIV for sale. Overall OK but has a few issues. It could be restored, but I have no room or desire to do so. Currently stored in Maryland near Washington DC. It's yours for $125.00 if you want to pick it up.The motor is working.

The problems:

All knobs missing, except the one on the drawer.
Reproducer is nickel not gold.
Speaker door missing a chunk where the hinge attaches.
Record drawer cracked and separated (all parts present).
A couple of drink rings on the lid.
The bullet brake was replaced by a later upgrade to the automatic shutoff style.
I don't know if it had a rack for albums, but if so it is missing.
It's not the picture, the taper tube plating is worn down to the copper for much of the surface.

That's certainly a pretty reasonable price for what you have! Early XIVs are neat machines. I really love mine. These did originally have record racks, just FYI.

Good luck!

Had a request to part this out but figured I'd bump it to the top to give it one last try.

If you can get it to Union, I'll buy it. Jerry

I'm pretty much stuck on the east coast. Besides, if I made it to Union I probably wouldn't have enough money left over to get home.
