More
about the Victor IV
This stunning Victor IV delights the eye with its robust mahogany
cabinet. Original Victor flower horn with scrupulously restored paint
and decal, with beautiful dogwood blossom decoration. The machine
is crisp,
and
clean, and classy. Dazzling,
delightful, bewitching, ravishing! No other seller has the 54 year
experience and expertise that we put into our instruments every
day. We have examined closely the work of other dealers, they are
nice people, but many do not even have enough knowledge to understand
the mistakes they are making.
The solid mahogany
cabinet.
We restored the bracket with historically correct gold filigree.
Of
course, we
rebuilt the
soundbox to produce sweet, loud and clear music.Why do the talking
machines of other dealers sound so tinny and shrill? Because they
do
not have the expertise or the inclination to adjust the
soundbox
correctly. At phonophan, 54 years of experience can be seen -- and heard. All work is 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.
The powerful, double-spring motor -- with brand new mainsprings to make sure it plays like new!
Why buy patched up, jury-rigged junk on eBay? Our instruments are
absolutely first rate! What do we give you at phonophan that
other
sellers
don't? For one thing, we replace the mainsprimgs when necessary.
It has often been noted by other sellers that they remove
mainsprings, clean them and put them back in the motor. This is nothing short of absurd. If the springs are old and worn out they need to be replaced. Think of it this way --- would you pay a
mechanic to remove the worn brake shoes on your car, only to clean them
and put them back on? Of course not!
If parts are worn, they need replacing. At phonophan we
know more than the other guys, and our instruments show it!
Our spotless Victor IV has a smooth-running and strong motor -- with two new
mainsprings. And look at that sweet horn, with hand-painted dogwood. 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 excellent-playing, sleekly beautiful Victor is a delight to
the
eyes AND ears.
