I am looking to purchase (for my own collection) a Model M portable, in mint condition. The picture shown is from the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
If you have one for sale, please email me directly, including pictures, price & location. Please do not send a PM as I am unable to answer them from my smartphone.
thanks,
Raphael

Hi Ray,
I believe you mean Vassos. This phono was designed by John Vassos.

You are 100% correct. I still have embedded in my memory from the 1970’s, selling to a Greek shipowner, one of whose vessels was the MT THASSOS. And he still owes me money, which probably explains why I’ve never forgotten him or the ship, haha.

Contact the boys from American Pickers
They purchased one on an episode that aired recently.

They will trade it to you for a Harley and some oil cans!

I did see that but the piece they acquired had some issues. I am looking for an absolute mint machine.
