The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Ok, now that it after the holidays. I am going to repost this great Victrola again. You all read my original details of it on our first Board site. But here to refresh your memory is the Video on You Tube. I am marking this down to the unheard of price of $275.00 for a quick sale, because frankly as I said before, I do not have the space for it. It has to go. So here is a nice 2009 early present for some deserving Collector. Email and come and get it, or arrange for shipping. First email gets it.

I HAVE A BUYER FOR THE 8-12X SO IT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE HERE ON THE YANKEE TRADER!! THANKS TO ALL WHO INQUIRED.

I don't suppose you're located anyplace remotely near Albany NY.......

Bruce,
If you will let me know your location I have a new shipper that I have worked with-if you have not sold this unit so I can find out what it will cost to get to AZ. Pics of top sides and front with doors closed would also be good. I do not remember is this a wind up or electric unit and what shape is the reproducer in-it sounded good Thx in advance Abe Feder-need4art

Eric,

I forget exactly where solophoneman is, but he’s somewhere not too distant from where John and I live, and I plugged that into Google maps out of curiosity. Google informs me that Albany to Boston is 168 miles, or about 2 hours 50 minutes by car. I want to say that it might be another 20 miles to where he is, but I could be wrong. I think you are looking at a 3 hour drive (or perhaps a bit less, as I am sure that Google’s estimates are a bit conservative).

So if you were wanting to drive and pick up that machine, it’s definitely possible.

Hope this helps,

MordEth

I will post the exact last details I put on Craigslist the last time I posted it there with the photos of the front. The top is exceptionally clean. I will be back with the address where you can see it. As for the reproducer, no it is not the early brass type, if it was this machine would not be selling for $275.00 !!! as those early brass ones usually sell for more then I am asking for the entire 8-12x!! It is the typical later pot metal type which usually plays better then it looks, in fact I recently had a tone test with a fellow collector who had a rebuilt pot metal reproducer and we could not tell the difference in the sound quality between my original and his reconditioned one. In any event I will be back.

Ok, here is the post on Craigslist. I believe if no one comes forward to purchase this, I will donate it to a local Senior Center complete with 100 78's and a supply of needles. At least that way some old timers can enjoy it, and I can take a tax deduction for the donation. Believe me this is a very nice Victrola, it is not a common orthophonic, and it has a lot going for it, despite a few minor cosmetic flaws, which I have more then taken into consideration when you consider the price.
