Player price

Post by Andy45 »

I do understand the many variables in selecting a machine but might there be a general price (going rate) for a 1920 VV VI machine in good condition?

Thanks as usual,

Andy

For an all original VV-VI that has been cleaned, lubricated, and adjusted and is ready to play records, I'd say a fair price is between $150 to $250. You can certainly do better is you are patient or willing to do some of the work. Jerry B.

Thank you. That makes this one about $67.64 overpriced!

I would agree, a well cleaned adjusted machine with rebuilt reproducer should be in the $150-275 range.

A VV-IV will be slightly less.

I personally would add on maybe 50.00 to 100.00 more for an early model with forward crank and the early tone arm.

The higher priced table models would be VV-XI, VV-XII and the 1-70 and 1-90 models.
