New to me, a VTLA XX

I was fortunate to be able to bring home a VTLA XX. I am amazed at the condition it is in and that it has all the correct record albums. I have been trying to search for when Victor came out with the bamboo needles. This XX has the triangular hole exhibition reproducer. I believe this model was only made for less than one year in 1909. It is using the Victor VI motor board and tone arm. I would think that it should have a round hole exhibition reproducer.

Yes, I am very pleased with this XX. It looks much better in person. Sorry for the poor lighting when I took the pictures.
I am also looking forward to the Midwest Show. It is getting better every year. Thanks to all involved in setting it up!!!!
