The black paint and gold decoration of the horn have survived very well, and the original horn decal is there too!
The motor, like the rest of the machine, has survived intact. We cleaned it, and installed two new mainsprings to insure that you have a good-running, reliable instrument. Phonophan gives you the highest quality instruments and restorations, all work done under the personal supervision of Tim Fabrizio, who has a degree in Fine Arts, has devoted his life to painstaking restoration work, and has written eight books on the subject of antique phonographs.
Inside the cabinet is this schematic.
Under the cabinet, this patent notice. The IV sold for $50, a hefty sum at the time.
Most Victor talking machines were constructed of oak. Reasonably few were mahogany because mahogany was more expensive. This makes the Victor IV a rarity, and the look of it is undeniably alluring. If you want to experience what a Victor Talking Machine was like when it was new -- get this one! See how it shines! This incredibly pristine, excellent playing, sleekly beautiful Victor is a delight to the eyes AND ears.
Price: $2850.00 US, plus shipping and handling. (NY State residents must pay sales tax, if applicable.)
