FOR SALE: VTLA WITH NICE FULL SET OF RECORD BOXES - $ 1000

Post by PHONOMIKE »

I'm selling my early VTLA. Serial #6598

It has the roller ball casters used in the early production machines. It plays nice and strong and is quiet. It's a nice machine in good condition. It has a small mark on the left side of the cabinet and a couple small gouges on top of the lid. It's dark mahogany in color. You should be able to see all this in the pictures. May have been restored in the past but not certain. If it was it looks like a good job. Gold plating looks original and is not worn.

Brake and speed control work as should. Has gold needle cup, VTLA key and it comes with a complete set of nice record boxes, no albums. See the pictures.

One sold at Stanton's last spring for $1250(plus buyers premium and taxes) with a full set record albums and another this past fall without the record boxes for $550(plus premium and taxes). I've seen odd record boxes selling on the YT for $35 that have tape on them or mold. These boxes are in perfect condition and have all dividers in them. These are missing in many L-door machines and are hard to find but this set is nice and complete as shown in the pictures. You can look up the selling prices on Stanton's website under their sold listing. #376A last spring or #539 this past fall. I don't charge a premium or taxes so this should look like a deal.

Asking $1000 and will deliver to Stanton's in May or Union in June free of charge.

Let me know if you need any other info or pictures.

PM me if interested.

Don't miss out on this nice machine.

I will be listing more machines from my collection soon so keep an eye out for my ads.

Mike

This is actually the first Victor cabinet VTLA: the Pooley cabinet was much different.

I know about the early Pooley flat top models but I thought I read where Pooley made the first L-doors with the domed lid while Victor was setting up its factory to produce cabinets. I can be wrong and I stand corrected. The change has been made to the ad. Thanks

Either way still a nice and complete machine that would look good in any collection.
