VICTOR VI
An instrument as important as the Victor VI deserves the best possible treatment. What does it mean to do a first rate job of restoration? Carefully refinishing the cabinet and horn. Painstakingly gold-plating the hardware. This is not a slap-dash antique shop "doll-up." We have spent nearly 40 years with single-minded devotion to the restoration of antique phonographs. Our shop is managed by someone with a degree in Fine Arts - and it shows in our instruments! No other seller approaches either the level of understanding of the subject, or the artistic execution of the work. The result ---- awesome!
Original horn decal faithfully preserved.
Rich mahogany, correctly toned to the original shade.
In this "second style" model, the top board is constructed in a single piece, and the rubber bumpers lend extra support to the stamped steel 12" diameter turntable. It's interesting to note that the turntables of the Victor VI were never gold-plated, despite some people's notion that they should be. They were not gold-plated because the rubbing action of the brake would quickly efface the gold finish. Instead, they were given a more durable nickel finish.
The triple-spring motor -- perfectly tuned and adjusted. This is the improved, Victor "spiral" motor, much simplified over the earlier type.
The back-bracket has its original gilt filigree. The horn elbow, the component that attaches the horn to the machine, is a historically correct replica.
Professionally rebuilt and calibrated soundbox.
ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS is what this machine cost back in the day. Back then few could afford it. Today it is the ultimate investment in yourself -- aren't you worth it?
Price: $7550.00 US plus s/h (NY State residents must add sales tax if applicable).
