I've had a few RE-57s over the years, in a range of condition. The most Iever paid for one (and the nicest one I've had) was $85.00, and it had the mike and recording weight.....everything. Now, I have to allow that it was a good price, even for the AWA meet at Rochester, but I also think that 500 smackers is about 400-450 bucks too much. If it's the only one you've seen and you need it to keep on breathing, O.K., but I'd just advise that dealer to take good care of it, 'cause he'e apt to have it for a long time. > [Original Message] > From: <AGW1886 at aol.com> > To: <phono-l at oldcrank.org> > Date: 2/18/2007 11:02:05 PM > Subject: [Phono-L] Victor RE-57 found - unmolested! > > > Hello all, > If anyone is interested, I just looked at a Victor RE-57 > Radio-Phonograph-Recorder with a good looking case, all the hardware.
