The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hi All,
Recently I have found myself attracted to the early, large electronic versions of the Victor catalog. First there was the VE-9-25 that came from San Diego, and now the mint VE-9-54 that came from here in Arizona from the original family that bought it new. I will be posting pictures shortly. The 9-25 works wonderfully, the VE-9-54 does not serviced last in 1937.

What I am looking for is instruction or service manuals for either of these units-or anyone who might have some information about them that can send me copies of that information.

Thx for any help in advance
Abe

Abe,

I enjoyed speaking to you on the phone the other day and was so happy to hear about your new addition 9-54.
Can't wait to see photos.
9-25, 9-54, 10-50 -You are off the porch and running with the big dogs!

There is a schematic of the radio on Nostalgia Air for free at: http://www.nostalgiaair.org/Resources/274/M0040274.htm

there is a service bulletin repro on Ebay:

And Look for the Dog by Baumbach has a section on the record changer.

I used to own an Victrola Service Manual 1923-1928 that covered models with radios from 1923-1928 and had information on the 9-54.

Abe,

Once you start collecting BIG machines, there is no turning back! Soon there will be a 9-40, 9-55, 9-56, and a 10-51. It will be endless!

Oh shoot! I shoulda listened to you Keith. I got the bug and it seems like an endless quest to find the next early changer. Just returned from Union with another one. Russie

Hey Abe -

Two very nice machines. I to want to recover some of the machines I had to sell off some time ago. So you might see a little competition from me. However with the distance between us, that will probably not be an issue.

Hey Russie hoe did you see the machine with the Phono shade on your head! ,I wanna know what you got too!

Had a lot of fun with that one. It was the shade from the Modernola Lori and I got. The other find that I'm excited about is the 9-54. Ooh La La! It's enroute at this moment, but I'm so impatient to get it into my shop.

Oh wow! You’re breaking my heart. I love that machine
