The only thing you may want to really look at is the reproducer. If it is
very swollen and cracked or has missing pieces, you probably won't be able
to get it rebuilt. Then you'll have to either fin

Thanks. Why do you suppose the bass response is better on the Credenza -- is
the horn that much louder? Is it that noticeable? And what do you think the
right price range would be? The guy seems to want $200; I doubt he'd go
below $150. And I'm not su

All of my acoustic records sound dandy on my Orthophonics - the whiny,
nasal blast of early Victor band records is smoothed-out, and the latent
bass notes on Columbias is brought-out. Just don't pay too much, a
might need...

an orthophonic before.

I've been offered a Victrola 8-4 (VV 8-4), and I'm wondering what to do. I
haven't seen it in person yet, so I don't know if it has any pot metal issues;
does this particular model tend to develop those? And if so, where? Just the
tone arm mount, or the tone arm itself? How about the reproducer?
