The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Here's a nice Columbia Viva Tonal 202 Portable as pictured. The auto stop needs tweaked and I'm sure the spring needs cleaned and regreased. It plays great with room filling sound.

It needs a "conservation"- good deep cleaning, polish of the nickle parts, and repainting of the black parts. As you can see, the case is far above average... some black shoe dye will work wonders, or just clean and leave as is. Even the bottom has very little damage, and the handle is still there!

$125.00 plus ship.

$99.00 New Year Special...

Last call at $99.00... then it gets some refreshing and a service and goes up for sale elsewhere.

A Viva Tonal portable with nice outer covering for under a C note and it's still here???
