Viva Columbia Grafonola

by Peter DD » Wed Mar 21, 2007 11:14 am

Hi

I am a new member to this site and need some help with a Gramaphone that I recently aquired.

It is a Viva Tonal Grafonola. Number 155a
It is a floor standing cabinet in Oak or possibly Mahogany.

There is an identification note on it reading:

Methvern Simpson Ltd
The Gramaphone Experts
33 Princess Street Edinburgh

The cabinet was in a dirty condition and I have had it cleaned (gently) and have managed to repair the motor drive which had a needle stuck between the gear. So now it works and looks super.
Any information on it would be greatly appreciated and an idea of its value would also help. Many thanks.
Peter.
