Was it worth it ?

Just picked up this Victrola VV-300 9133 for $80 today.
The protective finish appears to have been taken off,
but otherwise all the wood is is great condition.
Had to take the motor out and remove about 170 needles which had fallen down into the motor section.
Gee, is it any wonder it wouldn't run before this cleaning took place.
Runs great now though!
Just cleaned it, and oiled it down for now.....

This is what it looked like, and the mess of needles inside when I first got it...
