The price tag on the machine was $1800.00 and on the other side of the tag said dealer will take $1400.00. I went up to the lady who was selling the machine and also she owned the antique shop, and I told her there were problems with the machine like the reproducer was bad and the springs were broke only getting about half a full wind, and the hord was quite weathered. She said she didn't know too much about the phonograph only that an old lady she got it from was 85 years old and going into a rest home and only had about 2 weeks to live, so her kids wanted to get rid of the machine and sold it to her. Not sure what she paid for it. I talked it over with my girlfriend for about ? hour and Audra kept telling me " BUY IT!, BUY IT NOW!. I went to my car and we drove away, I went ? block, and said what the heck,,,,, turned around and bought it. keith From Keith.Carter Mon Mar 8 09:28:45 2004 From: Keith.Carter (Carter, Keith) Date: Sun Dec 24 13:10:35 2006 Subject: cabinet cleaning, was Re: [Phono-L] just got a Victor V Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Thanks peter, I will look into the GoJo cleaner this week. That sounds easy enough to do.

(important to get non-abrasive!) set down some newspapers and get a couple of rolls of paper towels, then slather on the gojo. let it sit for about an hour, then wipe it off with the paper towels. they'll be black. this is decades of dirt plus cigarette smoke. keep applying gojo and towelling it off til the towels are clean and you'll be all set. use q-tips to get into crevices.

Smart lady! To be honest, I probably wouldn't have haggled -- I'd have sprained my wrist trying to get the wallet out of my back pocket :) Loran
