Hey LORYN!!!
 

Still getting everything organized, packed, and sorted for the big move, and...

I am bringing a little thank you present for my favorite travel agent/cheerleader!!! :)

The Victrola WILL BE making the trip with me in the trailer! :) This is NOT the exact model, but it will give you an idea of what it's like.

The speaker grille under the record player assembly isn't quite as fancy, but other than that it's pretty much the same style, including the nice sculpted top. The cloth of the speaker grille needs to be replaced (quick and easy fix), and the woodwork needs to be sanded down and refinished to make it look good as new. No major damage or scratches. The record player mechanicals need to be fixed, but there are places that could fix that all up for probably less than $100. As for the appearance of the player (turn table, playing arm, etc) they are in good condition. Even comes with spare record needles and a 78-RPM ceramic record. You're gonna like it!!!

A little bump as I see Loryn is currently online.

Looks cool

AW thank you baby! I love it! I can't wait. It will be real cool to have an old record player like that! I will make it perfect and gorgeous! You are too kind!

I have a bunch of stuff ready for ya when you get back to your apartment!

Glad you like it! I can fabricate a new speaker grille cover something like the one shown in the pic. I used to do woodworking and design, so I can make it look however you want. :thumbsup

You may regret saying that! :1orglaugh

Teasing....I can't wait. Drive safe! :thumbsup

Oh yeah that would work great! Very elegant!

It's a family hand-me-down, originally owned by my Grandmother (my Mom's Mom). Dates back to the early to mid 1920's. When I got back in Texas, I talked with my Mom to let her know my plans for it, and she thought it would make a nice gift and agreed wholeheartedly for this gesture. If it wasn't for Loryn's efforts I wouldn't be living my dream at being with Adult.com/RealityCash. I can't think of a more deserving new owner for it than Loryn!!! :thumbsup

Well thank you and thank your Mom for me as well. That is so nice. I am more than happy to help ya out anyway and anytime! You are a great guy and a great addition to the family! :thumbsup
