Description

This machine in its first style oak cabinet has its original finish but has evidence of having been cleaned. Has nice tight corners and is in overall good condition and presents well. Has an exhibition reproducer which has been rebuilt with a new rubber back flange. The tone arm, horn elbow, and horn elbow hold down all have their original nickel plating in average condition with the usual wear. Both tone arm and elbow have a few small dents with some rust on the horn elbow hold down. The back bracket has its original black paint and pinstripes in fair condition. Has reproduction mounting thumb screws. Has its original bullet break that is attached with modern replacement screws. Has a reproduction winding crank and the motor winds and runs. Has a 19″ L Victor black and brass horn with a 13-1/2″ Diameter bell. The bell has several dents and wrinkles and the horn body has been repainted and redecaled in average condition. This horn is oversized for this machine as a result has an original reducing collar which allows it to fit. This reducing collar has been polished to the brass and therefore has none of its nickel plating remaining. Cabinet measures 10-1/2″ X 11-1/4″ X 5-1/2″ T
