This reminds me of the Victrola XVII on ebay right now. Interesting it comes from the same city I found my Japanese 130 (and at around the same time...I wonder if this came from the same estate...they had several phonographs and I was an absentee bidder...)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2212199454&category=38030 &rd=1 I was looking at the bid history and one of the competing bidders lives in the same city and his/her feedback doesn't show any other phono-related purchases...could they be friends padding the selling prices for each other?? One has to wonder...take a look! Sean ----- Original Message ----- From: "Loran T.
