I lost one on eBay today that was available locally in South Florida. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3284&item=3057332443 So I have been looking around (since I want it for my new, swank Tiki hut/Bachelor Pad I'm putting together), but anything available is miles away and most want you to pick it up personally. Anyone have any sugestions or experience with acquiring one of these? |

man, i just sold one at my garage sale for $8. (the right side was not working and the turntable needed a new needle unit)... if i would have known. It was hard to let go, but it was taking up room. :( |

Thanks guys I'll look around locally. I know they just about give these away, but it is the location that is generally the problem. You can get one for only $25, but it costs $250 to ship it from Kalamazo! Pesonally I would like one that actually works so I can spin my vintage Perez Prado and Sinatra records on it. |

I finally found one of these after a couple of years of combing thrifts. 40 bux for an almost immaculate GE console in beautiful maple that matches my art deco maple bedroom set. it totally completes the bachelor pad/jungle room paradise in my swingin' bedroom and I've moved as many Sinatra, lounge, tiki and Command persuasive percussion series records into it's cabinet as will fit. Finally one that works! They look great with a lava lamp and boomerang ashtray too! Keep looking, you'll find one. The gravy was that when I headed to the thrift record bin to get a test record a vintage Lyman record was the first thing I saw. Good times. |
