The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Nice Columbia #613 with swing out doors. One of the last of the acoustic Columbia machines. Nice cabinet for its age. I've had it over twenty years. Just doesn't get used that much so it's time to move it on.

Bump.

Bump. It may not be a 800 but it's rarer than a Victrola Granda or 4-40. For the apartment dweller collectors or small bungalow home owners. Easily transported in the New Ford!

I love my Viva Tonal 611. It differs from this one only in that it has a drop down shelf/door instead of two doors.

The two doors on this variation of this model are a big plus, and this is a really good machine. Does well on pre-electric 78's too!

That's replacement felt on the turntable, correct? I believe the originals had velvet covering...Nice cabinet. I had a 601 once upon a time, which I've always regretted parting with (made room for a VV 8-35 though).

Yes Adam that is replacement felt on the turntable. It came that way from Ron Haring at least a decade ago.

Hopefully I will see you at dinner Saturday night at Mr. P's?

Glenn

Glenn, I plan to be. Didn't realize this was your moniker.

BUMP again.

Bump for 2017!

I see that you're located in Illinois but you don't mention if you are able or not to get your large machines to Union. Any thoughts? Jerry B.
