".... this replica RCA Victrola Gramophone Record Player has been individually inspected, tested and upgraded for operation, fit and finish - right here in Newtown, Connecticut. We adjust the drive mechanism, tighten fittings, upgrade the platter matte and add feet at the cabinet corners. When properly assembled and operated with care, it will be fully functional."

note the disclaimer, though...

"Because this item is designed and manufactured to resemble an antique, it appears somewhat imperfect."

At the local auction I attend on Sat evenings, the auctioneer bought a bunch of these. He told me he paid $25 each. He would put one in the auction every once in a while and always make money. He probably still has some left..... If anyone is interested, I can get one for you for a mere $75..... OK just kiddng.. don't start throwing things..
