Hi folks, finally have another addition for the collection. I picked it up off of CL, and got very lucky. I just had a
feeling
Anyway, I couldn't believe the condition of this machine when we went to look at it, I didn't even hesitate to give the asking price of $250 for it. It came with a whole shelf of 78's.
Since I bought it, I've replaced the rubber mount for the exhibition reproducer and bought needles, too. It plays really quite nice! I ordered a rebuild diaphragm rebuild kit for the reproducer, so she'll be like new again.
The only thing missing is the original crank, which, I've learned, is prone to breakage in these early Victrola's.
I'm sure I can come up with one sooner or later, for now, the crank that was with it is adequate.
