with the sad story, but I am in need of a Vic 3 cast iron turn table. If
anyone has a spare I would love to purchase it or trade for it. Will pay fair
price or have good items to trade. Any help you could give me would

got them with a "project" cabinet. Let's see if these "mistakes" interest

I have been following this thread with great interest. Let it be known that
this not just about Craigslist. The honorable collectors on this and other
lists are prone to the same questionable behavior. Some months back I
responded to an offer to sell on one of the phono lists. I quickly agr
Maybe not, but I had it in WRITING!

I think a lot of us may have seemed to have better luck than most, and better
luck in past days than more recently, because we used to pretty much deal with
other collectors, and only occasionally dealt with people who didn't know much
about what they were selling. Collectors aren't charlatans
That verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on!
The first guy with the dough, almost always.

Whatever happened to the integrity of a verbal handshake? There have been a

more, (Zenith Stratosphere) but then there was that verbal handshake and

It does make for good stories later on...

John,
I know where you are coming from. That has happened to me many times over.
Craislist is like a newspaper add. It's first come first served. Sometimes you
will find a seller with high integrity and others that are total losers. That's
part of the collecting game. Several years ago, I was at

John, I hear your frustration. But everything happens for a reason. In the
past, you've said you've made some great finds.
And about replacing your Victrola right nowthat's a
It isn't a done deal until you appear and money changes hands, and what you

Anyone need one or two project machines? I picked up two this week and both

Does anyone have interest in a stack of Jesse Crawford (played at the Wurlitzer

There is also about a dozen complete sets of classical pieces. Any interest?
Going once, twice... off to Goodwill. Let me know. Jerr

I need to rant. I have been made a sucker. I sold my nice mahogany Victrola
