Here is a very nice condition spider leg victrola x at only $100. It's too far away from me, otherwise I'd snap this up immediately.

UPDATE:
The seller has since changed the price to $800, unfortunately. Even so, this is still a good buy.

The link lists it at $800 not $100.

Now it's $800.

Why do people do that? I'm not talking about the seller.

This is irritating, when I posted the link it said $100! The Craigslist poster must have changed it.

Good buy or good bye??

Only about 14,000 of this style produced, acc. to http://www.victor-victrola.com/X.htm. Maybe eight bills isn't too high; it's a mighty handsome piece, IMO. It does appear to have been refinished, comparing the outside with the lid undersides. Even so....

I agree, it's a handsome machine, it's rare and the price may not be too high. I have had few opportunities to buy this model and bought 3 of them. I still have the only one offered to me in Oak. I'm guessing that 5 bills will take it home.
