Anyone Have Pictures of Their XVII Albums?

Post by travisgreyfox »

I would like to start trying to hunt some down slowly when I have extra cash. It would help to see which ones I need.

Thanks,

Travis

This is my VV-130, (same as a VV-XVII). I keep them empty so that they remain enact. It is a shame to waste all of that storage, but I would rather preserve the albums. Except for letter “P”, they are common to other machines of the period. The albums in my VV-XVIII are the same, but the pages are blue. Good luck.

Here is a pic of my VV-XVII albums. As mentioned the 10" "P" is very hard to find in any condition. One just sold on the Yankee Trader.

Great! Thanks! I at least have a starting point now. Someone offered to sell me an entire set for $375, which seems more than fair to me. Hopefully I can get my hands on these soon.

$375 is a bargain for those... They usually run around $50 apiece or more...
