The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I have a Viva Tonal model 810 that I would like to get rid of. I am moving and just don't have the space for it. I have put wheels on the bottom to facilitate moving it, and the reproducer diaphragm is messed up. I can supply pictures if anyone is interested. I live in Norfolk, Virginia.

What a pity... If I lived there...

I'm also willing to part it out. If it's not gone in two weeks I will be forced to put it on the side of the street.

Once upon a time was a dream machine of mine... I think those cabinets are really nice. If I wasn't moving into such a small studio I would totally consider it!

I hope it finds a good home.

Was wondering if you'd seen it David and it looks like you did.

If there was a way to get it from Virginia to South Carolina I have a side bedroom it can sit in. Not acoustically perfect but better than the city dump.

Can you put it on Facebook marketplace or craigslist? I'd be surprised if someone didn't pick it up.

That was going to be my last resort. I bought it off marketplace a few years back. Todays market is a different game now

I will even travel three hours for free to transport this machine.

It is a shame you can't even give it away. I have one I haven't gotten around to repairing yet.

This is tempting.... I am not far from you, Elizabeth City, NC. I "second" the previous comment about a Facebook Marketplace ad. I know it has gotten a little awkward BUT I really think if you put it on there at $50 or less, it would be gone in less than 48 hours. I am not a big fan of "free" because my/your time answering inquiries is worth something. Plus, "free" brings out too many "interesting" individuals....

Sorry, I am not a snob but this post sounds kind of like it...
