It says the condition is fair but it doesn't look that bad to me in the pictures. If it wasn't so far away it would be a good one for Bill.

That is this from Gary's site. It sold for $400.00 in 1957.

This, uses pretty much the same amp but with smaller speakers and no tuner.

The V-M model 562 was also from 1957 and sold for $159.00. Both had the "extra" switch on the changer to switch from mono to stereo which was all in the cartridge. You also needed the amplified speaker that would match either unit.
I wish they had a photo with the back off.
Danny, if it were close by I would be heading down the road.

$400 was a good chunk of change in 1957. I think it's a very attractive unit and the price is right. It's right below Cincinnati and that would be a long way for you to go. Maybe something will pop up in your neck of the woods.

It was, Danny, and it may have been V-M's TOTL for 1957 (Mono) until they announced the V-M-1000 in late 1957, which was their TOTL full stereo selling for $1025.00.

Looking through the grille cloth it looks like 4 speakers which would be unusual for V-M. The most I have seen is three and that is in their mono units. I would still like to see the back off.
