Mahogany cabinetry, early original lyre grille. Lovely original condition throughout, all bedplate decoration intact and beautiful. Diamond-A reproducer. Drawers have original egg-crates. Includes found business card from M. Steinert & Sons Co. Boston (Victor Dept) (was in bottom drawer). Fully Serviced. Motor has been lubricated and adjusted, both mainsprings re-greased. Upper works have been disassembled and adjusted. Was well looked after by previous owner (original purchasing family) who actually cared for the machine, as much as I do. Never EVER neglected. I operate it with its original leather drive belt. New diamond stylus, new reproducer gaskets, original diaphragm. I will include some nice EARLY "flat-top" acoustic Blue Amberol records with the machine (directly cut masters, NOT dubbed from Diamond Discs).

I prefer local pickup (we are off I-87 North in the beautiful Adirondack region of New York State.) I will also assist your furniture moving company. The machine can also be brought to the Wayne, NJ phono show in the spring. Selling as I need the $ for roof repairs which have taken absolute priority. Putting plastic sheeting over my computer at the end of the day is no way to live.
