Today my new Victor XVI L door arrived...and boy am I extremely happy with it. Jeff did a great job making sure it didn't get scratched on its journey and arrived with no issues. I had purchased a rebuilt exhibition before it arrived from a user on here...so I could enjoy it and hear what it's supposed to sound like, for when I rebuild the original since it'll be my first time.
I didn't have time before work to break out my early 78s to try...so I just threw on the only Christmas themed one I had. The auto brake works perfectly too!
Here is a video of it playing, and some pics after I wiped it down quickly.
