As usual, Craigslist provides temptation AND frustration - someone wants to give away a "Victrola 16 (XVII) " case, missing the motorboard and tonearm. I called about 5 minutes after the ad appeared, then again in the afternoon, but got only voicemail and no reply. Aargh.
That said, I did find a really nice Columbia BQ with 2 crates (Hudson's Bay whiskey, as often found in Buffalo!) full of perfect, mold-free Columbia cylinders.
$360 for an excellent machine and 60+ cylinders made me happy.

Well the BQ is an incredibly good find with those cylinders. Congratulations. Why don't you post some pictures of "the loot" when you have time!
