Yep! Was supposed to get to that in the spring, but then somehow a bunch of TV restorations came in from other people that actually wanted to pay me good money to do!

It's going to end up being a fall thing. We'll get it going

And, of course, as stuff happens, the moment you get neat clean and organized with a LOT of room, more stuff just works its way in (sigh)....

The Victrola XI was a gift from a friend (busted mainspring), the Bendix TV I couldn't pass up at $60, and the Victrola VV4-7 was a $40 Craigslist find that was so badly water damaged it wouldn't stand up on its own. Bought it for parts for the XI, and ended up fixing it and regluing the snot out of the cabinet, which is now nice and sturdy . A coat of Howards Feed N Wax brought the finish right back....mostly
