Hello all
I have a mahogany Victrola VI for sale on Craigslist. A woman has been making
serious inquiries on it. Her first question: Does it have a bracket and horn? I
said no and I explained that Victrolas have the horns on the inside behind the
doors. She writes back and says "A bracket, elbow and horn would amplify the
sound. Where are you located?". I said that adding those items to this machine
would make it a fake, something it was never meant to be. My dilemma? I want to
sell the machine, and I have had very little response. She's the first serious
one. But I am concerned that if I sell to her she will mangle it. After almost
100 years of life, I don't want to be the one that sells it to Dr Frankenstein.
Or am I just being too sentimental? I've sold lots of phonos in my time, and I
don't know what happened to them after I sold them. I'd like to hear your
opinions!
John Robles
