I doubt that they made many of these. Hand cranked spring motor with battery powered tube amp.

Would that be considered a "victrola-tube hybrid"? It appears to be in pristine condition, and I doubt that $4K is not unreasonable to a serious collector--but you have to find one. Due to rarity of a surviving specimen in that condition, I have no doubt that it will sell--probably not on the local CL, but in a world marketplace, I'm sure it would move at that number.
