You know, when the non-phono seller reported to the family that their dead gramma's broken down old phonygraf was at $4000 instead of the $150-300 they probably thought it'd go for, they could very well have pulled the plug and decided to find out more about it before selling it. I probably would've. If any of it's true, it all stands to some amount of reason. I agree with Art -- I think I'd rather just deal with phono people.
