Subject: [Phono-L] Columbia Viva-Tonal 810 Photo Needed
Date: Sun, Sep 22, 2013 11:25 pm
I have a Columbia 810 with the completely original, untouched finish.
There is a fair amount of color paint (mostly green) on the front (and
sides) of the machine, in addition to some shading of the (probably) toned
lacquer finish. I have seen several of these machines and there seems to be
a little variation from one to another in their decoration and coloration.
I would imagine that they were hand painted at the factory and they were not
all identical. Here is a link to a discussion about the 800 and 810 models
on the Talking Machine Forum. Included here are pictures of my 810
