THIS IS MY NEXT FANTASTIC TREASURE UP FOR CONSIDERATION:
I RECENTLY PURCHASED "ANOTHER ESTATE" AND I FOUND THIS LITTLE BEAUTY PACKED AWAY INSIDE OF A ARMY TRUNK IN THE BASEMENT. THIS IS A NICE VICTOR TALKING MACHINE MODEL V III WITH A SERIAL NUMBER OF 46156 B. THESE ARE CLEARLY MARKED ON FRONT PLATE OF MACHINE. I AM A NOVICE WHEN IT COMES TO THESE MACHINES. THE INFORMATION I AM LISTING IS WHAT I FOUND BY LOOKING AT SOME VICTOR WEB SITES. I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE MACHINE DOES WORK ! ~ I WOUND IT UP ABOUT 5-6 CRANKS AND FILPPED THE SWITCH AND AWAY SHE GOES. THIS MACHINE (I AM SURE IF YOUR LOOKING AT THIS YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS)BUT I WILL ADD WHAT I DO KNOW ABOUT IT BY DESCRIBING AS BEST AS I CAN, THE HORN IS MADE OF METAL AND IS IN GREAT SHAPE, LOOKS LIKE A HUGE FLOWER ~ (HAS DOG STICKER STILL ON IT) THE HORN MEASURES A WHOPPING 29"s TALL AND THE FLOWERING LOOKING BELL IS 24 3/4"" ACROSS. THE BASE OF HORNS ALUMINUM ELBOW HAS A SAMLL DENT RIGHT ON THE ELBOW WHERE HORN SLIDES INTO PLACE (SEE PICTURES) A VERY SIMPLE FIX AND IS "NOT" ON THE ACTUAL HORN ITSELF.THIS DOESHAVE A SOUND REPRODICER WITH IT BUT IT DOES NOT FIT ?? ~ IT IS A VICTROLA #4 AND I BELEIVE IT SHOULD HAVE A VICTOR #2 (ACCORDING TO WHAT I HAVE READ) IT IS INCLUDED ALONG WITH UNIT AND IS PHOTOGRAPHED. THE WOODEN OAK CASE IS IN VERY NICE CONDITION AND LOOKS GREAT. THE TURN TABLE MEASURES 10"s ACROSS AND HAS NICE FELT. THE TOP OF UNIT HAS A SWITH FOR SPEED ADJUSTMENT AND THE OTHER STOPS THE TURN TABLE BY APPLYING A BRAKE TO UNIT. THE BACK METAL ATTACHMENT THAT HOLDS HORN IS BLACK WITH ORIGINAL GOLD DESIGN. THE INTERIOR OF UNIT STILL HAS A PAPER LABEL INTACTED AND THE MOTOR LOOKS VERY NICE (IS KIND OF GREASY) BUT BETTER THAN RUNNING IT DRY! ~THE INFO I FOUND ON VICTORS WEB PAGE STATES THAT THE "VICTOR THE THIRD" REPRESENTED A MAJOR UPGRADE OVER THE VICTOR 1 & II WITH A MORE POWERFUL DOUBLE SPRING MOTOR CAPABLE OF PLAYING 5 TEN INCH RECORDS PER WINDING, ON ITS STANDARD 10" TURNTABLE. THE ORIGINAL $40.00 LIST PRICE WAS APPEALING TO THOSE WANTING A LARGER CABINET, DIMENSIONS 14 1/8"s WIDE BY 14 1/8"s DEEP AND 7 5/16"s HIGH. THEY ALSOSTATED THE LARGER OAK CABINET AND LARGE HORN IS A NICE BALANCE. THE HORN I BELIEVE TO BE ORIGINAL WITH THIS UNIT BUT I BELIEVE THE ORIGINAL SOUND REPRODUCER WAS LOST AT SOMETIME AND REPLACED WITH THIS ORIGINAL VINTAGE VITOR VICTROLA#4 WHICH IS NOT FOR THIS MODEL I MAY BE WRONG!
