The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I've decided to part out this early Victrola VV-XVI L-door model. I hate doing this and rarely do, but the finish is pretty bad, especially on the sides and back, and the front left foot has at some point in the past broken off and been repaired... it's solid enough and doesn't look terrible, but it's these condition issues that typically deter people from buying a machine like this. If someone wants this whole machine - which is complete and runs (the motor is fine, the springs are good), but has no crank and no reproducer - then I'll gladly sell it for $500, which is a good deal less than the value of all the parts. Otherwise, the parts and prices are listed below. If interested, send me a message or email brianu73 at hotmail. I'll put a hold on any parts requested today, but with the caveat that if someone buys the whole machine by Monday morning, everything will go to him/her. Otherwise, the parts will be sold to whomever wants them.

This is located in southern NJ and can be picked up or I can bring it to the Wayne show. The same goes for any of the parts that sell. Prices don't include postage.

Thanks,

Brian
