The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Anyone looking for a Victrola X Tabletop? I came across this listing on CL in Saginaw, Michigan. From the photo's it looks to be in pretty nice condition. Gotta be worth what the seller is asking! Shipping is the big drawback

Vintage Victrola crank style record player. 30 or 40 records will go along for 200.00. For 225.00 will add in the antique school desk that has acted as a stand for the player.

$190? I wish I could get one that cheap. Shipping is not a concern if you take it apart and mail the big pieces separately.

That price is a very good deal. It's always hard to tell with pictures on Craigslist, but from what I can see it looks to be in much better shape than the one shown in Covah's post.

I like the look of early X's. Here is one in Oak I had awhile back playing "Siam Soo":
