If I were closer I'd be picking this up.
I think it's a good price. $120.00 Can't go wrong with that can ya?

How does one post an image without saving it?

An oak Victrola IX for $120? You're right - that's a good deal. Especially around San Francisco!

It's a good price but you'd have to spend $60 for a Victrola 2 reproducer. Jerry

ahh
thank you for posting the image.

wish it were only a 4 hr drive for me...heh

Don't think hubby would like the idea of taking a couple of days to pick it up..lol

Hummmm..I do have a niece that lives in Seattle.
Still a 3 hr or more drive for her though. So a nope for me.

ahhhhh..thanks Jerry for the input on the reproducer.

That is fumed oak (or something similar) and a bargain at the price, correct reproducer or not. Far less common than golden oak.

And far, far less common than red mahogany.

Some bubbling of the veneer on the lid, but that can be repaired.

and that finish is far kinder to trepairs than a gloss varnish- a little wear can even improve it

Looks like it has some nice marbling in the wood too.
I bet it's pretty when cleaned up

Don't know artist of that Sun record on the turntable but if it's Elvis, the record is worth the asking price and then some.

now that would be a fun little extra.
