Our Victor III has a pretty oak cabinet, and original components which we have meticulouly cleaned, polished. Inside is a sturdy, reliable double-spring motor. We have carefully calibrated this instrument to return it to the condition it enjoyed when it left the factory in Camden, NJ well over a century ago. We carefully restored the original Victor flower horn, complete with beautiful gold highlights and hand painted daisies, in precise historical authenticity to the styles of the day.
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 consequently their work is substandard.
Inside the cabinet we really can appreciate the impact of this instrument -- the motor is spotless. 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 optimum results. It is evident in every aspect of this instrument that it has been lovingly preserved and maintained oved the long years.
Price: $1995.00 plus s/h, (NY State residents must add tax if applicable).
