OVER ALL DISC CONDITION IS Excellent
the matrix is set up for automatic changers - man those record changers
back in the day must have been strong as a horse to hold a stack like this!
Cover Conditions : Volume one has a dent on the front otherwise both album books
are in VG+/E- condition.
The total weight of both albums is approx 25 pounds.
This would not be cheap to ship overseas.
FREE SHIPPING IN THE USA
NOTE: This set weighs 5 pounds
without the packaging
so overseas buyers expect
to pay over $40.00. approx.

THIS TYPE OF PACKAGING FOR 78RPM RECORDS IS A MUST!
I strive to deliver 5-star customer service!
At your request I can ship the item anyway you
want, including insurance. I combine shipping.

Standard record grading:
P= poor G= good VG= very good E= excellent NM= near mint
With a plus or minus depending on variables such
as how much groove luster remains, sound quality, wear and abuse.
basic Goldmine Magazine Standards
as “Doc” states in his book “A Good record is not a good record at all”
but in 78rpm record terms a Good record is still a playable one.
Thanks for looking in.
