So if this was true in 1975... Victor Model VI, original mahogany horn, gold pillars, WITH original rare matching cabinet shaped liek the machine, but on a larger scale. $950.
It would be $3268 today. I'm ready to buy one on the spot for $3268!!! Good point about prices though. With inflation and such the deals aren't really as astounding as them seem. But what a way to dream about old prices available today. Dan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Loran T.
