Re: Brunswick Cortez
Unfortunately a bit too far away for me to pick it up.

The seller says "It is missing the screen that goes in front of the horn"
That's a dealer-killer unfortunately for most.

Re: Brunswick Cortez
Why would that be a "deal killer"? It looks better without it, leaving the wood horn exposed...barnettrp21122 wrote: Thu May 20, 2021 9:41 am The seller says "It is missing the screen that goes in front of the horn"

Re: Brunswick Cortez
It's also missing the lid supports. Other than that, and the missing grill, it looks pretty nice.

Re: Brunswick Cortez
What's a "reasonable price" for a nice, complete Cortez these days?
I can remember the good ol' days when Credenzas often fetched > $1000. Nowadays, it seems that many Credenzas are in the $250-$450 range. Have the realized prices for a Cortez sunk as much as the price of a Credenza has? Just curious.
Best regards ... AZ*

Re: Brunswick Cortez
Some years ago I paid about $325 for mine, and was thrilled. If I were to end up "needing" one today, I would probably agree to pay up to maybe $600 for a nice one. If it were super nice, maybe more... But, that's just me.AZ* wrote: Thu May 20, 2021 5:34 pmWhat's a "reasonable price" for a nice, complete Cortez these days?
