I didn't respond to this, because I...um...don't know what it is. I know Pooley made record cabinets, but I have never heard of a "VTLA." It sounds like an adjustment one would make when setting up a modern, High-End turntable. Congratualtions Jerry, on your find, whatever it is.

I don't know what this is either. I pulled out all of my books and can't find a picture. Congrats anyway! Do you have a picture that you can post so that the uninformed of us in the audience know how lucky you are?

This model and its successors until 1908 were marked "VTLA" - short for "Victrola." If you have a copy of the "Talking Machine Compendium," you'll find pictures of one on page 162. Congratulations, Jerry!
