This was originally was purchased from Jake Lenihan. He is a retired lawyer in theWashingtonD.C. area. The Victrola came from a home in eastern Virginia. It had been in the same family since it was bought new. Jake took the Victrola to a personal friend who tunes up, and refurbishes Victrolas, as he knew that it had not been used in several years. He had it working at 100% in a very short time. The Victrola is working and plays loudly and well. This is one of the nicest Victrolas that we have ever offered.
