VICTOR "III"


A stunning machine, expertly restored, with the original paint on the Victor flower horn. Now, doesn't everyone claim that their machines are expertly restored?  YES! However, they are not up to the standards of phonophan.  Tim has a degree in Fine Arts and is a lifelong studio painter -- these qualities and credentials of professional artistic vision go into every instrument that phonophan sells.  We have carefully calibrated the components to return this machine to the condition it enjoyed when it left the factory in Camden, NJ well over a century ago.

 

The foremost factor with this instrument is the condition.  The original factorey cabinet finish is beautifully intact, the nickel-plated components are clean and shiny.  We have lovingly restored the original Victor horn to blend with the patina of the whole.


His Master's Voice -- the legendary trade mark.



All the components are clean and bright.  The "soundbox" -- or needlehead -- is entirely responsible for the quality of the music the III puts forth. Victor's "Exhibition" soundbox is both sensitive and sturdy. We have completely taken it apart, replaced the rubber gaskets, tuned, balanced and adjusted to give it the power to entertain you brightly, boldly, brilliantly.  A huge failing of other sellers' machines is the poor sound quality. Other sellers often fail to gasp the basic concept of how the soundbox works, and so consequently their work is substandard.


The mechanics are just as clean as the rest of it.  Why are OUR machines better than any other seller's? Because we don't "jury rig" our machines with whatever junk we have laying around the shop to get them out the door. We adjust and test our machines for the best results.  It seems like bragging, and we suppose it is, but the other sellers could never offer this level of quality.


Ladies and gentlemen, we present for your delectation the Victor "III." As always, we took the instrument down to its constituent parts and painstakingly cleaned to each one without damaging the original patina.  Our machines are checked, tested and guaranteed to work properly. We put our 55 years of experience into each one. 

Price: $2150.00 plus s/h, (NY State residents must add tax if applicable).
