I finally acquired one at a local auction a year ago for short money, and would never part with it. I just love the unique mechanical qualities which no other table models possess, also it was the only table model that features an automatic stop. A friend and fellow member of Mocaps, just acquired one, and it is by far the most perfect original V in Mahogany we have seen as yet. We will have some photos of it, I'm sure after our next meeting in Sept. which we will send to ITG for publication.
