Ken, personally I wouldn't buy it. Not because its not a nice machine, but if I'm going to spend $1,300 on one I am going to get something that I like better. I am not a big fan of the oddball Columbia disc machines, mainly because parts are not easy to find if something needs repair. Columbia springs are difficult to replace and I'm not crazy about the styling. I like the Columbia cylinder machines without the pot metal. However, everyone has their favorites. I, personally like front mount Victors or small rear mount Victors... or for that matter Pathe machines. As you can see, this boils down to personal preferences...
