The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hi All -

I am looking for an original, clean, no missing veneer, good finish, complete with albums VE or VV 8-35 to add to my collection. I will pay for a strong machine that meets the above requirements. I would even consider the Canadian version, 8-36, if available.

Let me know what you have.

TIA

Mark

Anyone?

I just picked up a nice VE-8-35x. I will have it at the Orlando show this weekend. It has all of the correct albums but the tonearm and bracket need some help. It is untested by me but seller claimed it works great. I don’t have any pictures since I just bought it and it’s loaded in the front of my truck. I can post pics after I get set up at the show. Joe

I love mine

Saw this on eBay and it isn’t mine but looks to be a really nice machine with all the albums.

That VV8-35 Joe had at the Orlando show was a beauty with full compliment of Albums in pristine condition.
It did not last 15mins before it was sold for a Hell of a bargain price.

Yep, saw that one. I think he purchased it for $100 on Craigslist, not that it matters. bit $1,50 is way to much for a machine in that condition. There is also one on Facebook Marketplace in Noblesville for $400. Someone one the formun told him what it was worth $400 without asking all the necessary questions. It is a POS. Drawers are not original and have been remade, no albums. Hardware and motor board are not of this machine and are rough. Cabinet needs a lot of veneer work. It is a $50 machine.
