Picked up a beautiful 8-35

Post by JohnM »

Picked up a beautiful 8-35x at a local auction a couple of days ago. It is missing a few albums, but another board member has already hooked me up with what it needs to be complete. Paid $27.50 for the albums, and $110 for the machine! My wife absolutely loves it!

I had one for years, fresh from a barn in SE KS, that I really liked. It has a unique look and sounded great too. Enjoy your new purchase!
