Folks - there is a VV-240, later style with the curved top in Brewster, NY that a gentlemen is looking to get rid of as he clears out his house.? He and his wife are in their 80s and will be selling the house this year.? If you are interested please contact him at [email protected].? Name is Ammiel Schwartz.? I've been there and have seen it.? There are a few albums of 12" records with it.? The rest of the collection of records came home with me.? It's in solid condition, some wear spots, working fine, although the reproducer needs?new?gaskets and all?as it sounded terrible.? I already have a 240 so left it behind.? No price was really discussed as I didn't plan on bringing it home.

The machine in question appears on Orville's "sale" list which I still have. The prices are all relevant to the income of the times but sure look cheap now. Gosh, a very long time ago, like 50 years or so. Will dig out that list but 1958 or 1959 sticks in my head. Larry **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!

Early Collector History... Message-ID: <[email protected]> Dear Larry: I would love to have a copy of Orville's list and am especially interested in what he called his frankenphono. Please feel free to contact me off list. Orville White was diagnosed with a brain tumor and left us in 1969 or 1970 if my memory is correct. Many thanks for adding this to the history of collecting. I would bet that the list posted on this email forum would be greatly enjoyed by all. Today we see many items that are "original" but are really products of those early collectors. Few people today even know what a Frick's Freak horn is. Sadly they still appear on eBay as "original" though the Bond-O seams in the old peach can tin has started to separate and one wonders how many good cylinders have been ruined by his "Dual Speed Styli?"

Jerry Madsen used to sell these, but they are all gone. Originals are nearly impossible to find, and prohibitively expensive if one could be located. Thanks for any information.

Message-ID: <4c9e71710f4c46bb804a1ee787860...@gregg> I would like to offer a Herzog model #820 disc record cabinet in Mahogany for sale to the group. This is the model that has Corinthian columns like that of the Victor VI but they are not gold plated. It is pictured in oak on page 110 of Fabrizio/Paul Gadgets and Gizmos book with a value code of VR. It has original finish but will probably need to be refinished to match your Victor VI as it is very dark. It is very solid and most veneer is intact. All of the carving is intact and good shape. The feet are good and complete. In fact the only problem spot, other then the very dark finish is on the upper left side, just below the top. There are a couple of small veneer chips here. On the right side same spot the veneer is cracked but completely intact. The brass pull outside and needle cup inside the door is also missing. All in all this is a very restorable piece to go with your Victor VI. These are very hard to find in any condition and much rarer than the machine itself...What better way to display your flagship machine than on a matching base cabinet! I am offering this as it is a duplicate for me. I am asking $7500 and have seen them for sale for over $10K. I would consider possible trades. I can offer free delivery to the North Carolina, Wayne or Union Shows this spring if that will help. I have pictures available upon request. Please contact me off list for further information or phone @ 419-424-1201. Thanks, Gregg Cline
