The braking system needs to be adjusted but that intails only getting the levers under the platter to coincide with the movement with the tone arm. It's a adjustment that is made with the platter lifted off and the adjustment made.
Overall the whole unit is beautiful and the records played sound fantastic. The reproducer is working perfect & a box of needles is included. The reproducer is a Victor Talking Machine EXPOSITION attachment.Needles need replacing when the record sound quality starts to get scratchy. We will add Alice in Wonderland (3 records) with the phonograph for demonstration.
Bring help to move from the house to your vehicle. According to information on the Victor Talking Machine website this is a'somewhat common model'. How many survived in this condition is anyones guess.
