Was this the one in Spain, for a minimum of $650 + $250 shipping? That's
the closest thing I could find, in "Completed Items".
I think I have almost the same model - from England, old-style oak cabinet,
tone-arm with angled "reflex" bends, and the funny "bifurcated" horn.
Mine needs its reproducer to be repaired & the spring either rehooked or
replaced, so I've never heard how well those dual horns work! I can't
imagine these are worth even half his starting price.

Add me to the list. I just had this happen to me recently on th'Bay with
a guy trying to auction off an oddball Columbia made in the UK that was
one of the in-between hybrids they made of a Viva-Tonal and the older
Grafonolas.
The seller was asking a little too high for the piece so I asked him if he
would consider selling it for slightly less but ONLY IF it did not sell
for his price (or more) during his auction. I wasn't lowballing him to
end his auction and prevent him from riding out the last second bidding
war he was hoping for. It was only if it didn't sell. I was offering him
a safe "plan B."
He basically replied that if he couldn't get his price, which was as low
as he would ever go, he would chop it up and sell it for parts and make
more.
