If anyone needs a cabinet for a VV-XII there is one on Ebay. Same seller also has a nice record cabinet for it listed.eBay Item #131431812314

That is indeed a hard to find XII cabinet. Could be a real task since the guts are COMPLETELY ripped out.

I see this seller has a couple of record cabinets both are oak - I did not see any mahogany cabinets, but I could have missed the one you refer to. One of the oak record cabinets is another hard to find cabinet - made for to match a Oak Victor IX, with the dog bone top. Nice combo to complete for someone! John

I'm feeling pretty good about the value of my XII if this thing sold for almost $400

Problem with this is that he took apart a complete machine and sold the pieces. The case was just the remaining part. Look up his other items. I've been watching this for a few months now. Obviously his right to do so, still a shame, especially with rare machines like the VV-XII.

Did all XII have that frieze bric-a-brac under the lid ?

Hey Frank,
There were 2 styles on the Victrola XII. The early was more plain and this later style had the carving under the lid. Just under 5,000 were produced between both models.
