WANTED: THE HOLY GRAIL OF CIRCASSIANS

So in another ad I said I was going to start selling off some of my collection and getting rid of the more common machines. And this is true and happening. Now I am sounding a bit like a hypocrite. I have 3 circassian walnut Victor Victrola XVI's that I am going to list and try to sell. I would like just 1 circassian to replace the others. This will also free up some space.
I am interested in buying a circassian L-door VTLA. I only know of 1 member with one but maybe there are others that are keeping theirs a secret. If anyone has one or knows of one and is interested in selling, please give me the courtesy of trying to make a deal with you.
Thanks.
Mike

For the record, the Holy Grail of Circassians is the Sonora Supreme with matching record cabinet!!!

Maybe for some, but to me, the Sonora Supreme looks like a stove and I don’t really like it. It may be a great piece of craftsmanship, but I would take the VTLA over the Sonora.

I agree the Supreme you don't have to like the design for it to not be the holy grail.Only 2 known to exisit how about a DD 450 or DD 350 they are pretty elegant A VTLA is pretty common in camparison

I wasn't looking for a debate on which is the holy grail of circassian phonographs. Everyone will have their favorite and there is no wrong answer to your own beliefs.
I was putting it out here that I am looking to buy a circassian walnut VTLA L-door Victor XVI. So if someone has one they are willing to sell or knows of one for sale, please reach out to me.
Thanks.
Mike

I was laughing the whole time I was reading that debate. It's like teaching a class where you're trying to lead the class in one direction yet they just noticed something shiny on the wall...
