Elton, that's the same model you picked up for me only in Early American. The price is right, and it will sound great once rebuilt. By looking at the controls it looks like it is the other generation. Mine has Riaa, LP, EUR settings where this one does not. Thanks for sharing and I hope some on the forum end up with it. Remember who was after the one I got?

Chris, the one in Elton's posting is a newer model than mine. For the most part the amps are the same with the difference being in the EQ part and the changer is the newer VM style. Both have 12" multifrequency speakers with 4" tweeters. Here's a link that might help with what's under the hood.

Yes.... I know is like the next model in the line to the one you got...I figured you might want a couple of them... :lol: If that party watches FB I'm sure he will see this one as well... after all this is close to VM's old neighborhood in that part of the state

I hope that party ends up with it, but if so, it will probably get parted out. :(
