The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

hello, folks,

I will be picking up the Oak Puritan that this seller listed on eBay and that Phono-Phan was kind enough to write about in this forum.

The seller tried to interest me in his Oak V V IX, but I have neither the space in the transport vehicle nor in my home for it. As the seller notes, it does not presently run. I don't know what a fair price on this machine, which I believe is quite common, should be in an Oak finish. But I thought list members might be interested anyway.

I have no affiliation with this seller, except as I described above. If anyone is interested in this machine, contact me off list and I will let you know how my pickup goes (I'm getting the Puritan this Saturday, October 25).

Best wishes, Mark

It's a nice enough machine and Oak is a plus, but the asking price is IMO about $300 too high, it's missing knobs and likely needs one or both springs replaced.
