I am selling a few very nice machines to raise some money for an even nicer machine! So, if anyone is interested in a beautiful Edison Opera in Mahogany, let me know. I am asking $6500 for it. This is one that I have had for a number of years and never wanted to part with. I also have a nice Victor VI for $5500. I also have a gorgeous Victor MS with oak spertip horn for $3800. I will be coming up with more items soon. You can email me at phonowo...@hotmail.com or call me at (310) 795-9144. Thanks! Don Henry.
