The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I saw this recently, It's an L-door XVI model D. This is some of the most pronounced radical quartersawn oak I've ever seen on a machine. And no, this machine is not mine. It appears every panel, trim piece and even the corners were selected for heavy graining patterns.

That is loud and proud! I think it is great. I also have a set of the proper Feltoid casters for the XVI D if you end up with it.

That's absolutely stunning. Now about that Diamond Disc on the turntable........

The stunning nature of this XVI is making me overlook the Diamond Disc on the turntable!

I would want to see the inside of the horn & cabinet doors as the lid decal appears to have faded badly. Perhaps this machine was UV-damaged. Seeing the original color would be a good way to see how much it's faded if at all.

It is fantastic & I would be mighty proud to push this one into the collection-- Anyone who owns a Mission bungalow should consider this Victrola.

I should have included this photo to the original post.

What a beastly beauty!

It looks good enough to eat.

That's spectacular !

Old growth white oak trees, from what I see.

Veneer Suppliers in the US sells quarter cut oak, but the heavy grain pattern just isn't there.
One just doesn't see that anymore on new furniture.

That's almost psychedelic - love it!
