shout out to those who helped- Victrola VIII with cabinet

Post by miker2001 »

Harvey who spotted it on Craigslist and encouraged me to get it

Cliff who rebuilt the motor and practically delivered it for a very reasonable price

(Ron Sitko who supplied the springs)

My trusty car that made it to and from the side of Mount Hood to pick it up and bring it back to Seattle.

Very nice. I've always liked the little VIII. When compared to the IV, VI, and IX, the VIII sold in much smaller numbers. The matching cabinet is a nice feature. Jerry

The Victrola VIII is a scarce machine to begin with. To get one with a matching cabinet is icing on the cake. Enjoy :!: :!:
