The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I'm in the process of moving and need to get this project out, no time, no space... a VV-8-9 cabinet, horn and random hardware. What's included is what's in the photos. The cabinet is what it is, has the original oak finish and I believe the original green highlight paint in the proper areas of the decorative work. The veneer will need some work on the top of the lid, there's a small area of damage, where the wood was pierced, on the right side of the cabinet, and there's also a missing back panel (basically just a flat, plain piece of wood). The decorative filigree work is present and looks good.

The hinges and lid supports are there, as is the orthophonic horn... this is one of those one-piece, all metal ortho horns that were used in certain models, the 8-8, 8-9, 8-35, etc... unlike most ortho horns, this one slips in and out of the cabinet pretty easily in case you'd want to work on the cabinet or transfer it to another machine.

This is located in southern NJ just outside of center city Philadelphia. Like I said, I need this to go as soon as possible. I'll be listing it on ebay if it doesn't sell here first.

$200 takes it... and seriously, the horn alone is worth that. I've got some other parts as well that I'd include for an additional $60, including a turntable, tonearm, door knobs, etc., otherwise I'll just sell them separately.

Send me a message or email if interested... brianu73 at hotmail.

The Victrola pictured is an 8-9, not an 8-8. The 8-8 has wheels and a handle in the back.

true. I briefly confused the two (just corrected the post), as I've been working on an 8-8 for the past couple of weeks. apologies.

Are you sure you won't sell the horn separately? I could complete my hornless 10-35 that I've had for 14 years finally....

is the grill cloth the same as the vv 8-30 (credenza)? if so, and if you have it, will you sell it separate?

I just ordered some - rca 100 pattern - and it's a pretty decent match to the original cloth on my credenza.
