I was passing through a store in the center of São Paulo and I decided to enter, when I least expected to look what I saw, a Victor MS all mistreated waiting for someone with a good heart to rescue him. I know the horn and the reproducer are not original but the rest, yes, even with the engine running. I had no doubts and I rescued him, now it will be a few weeks of work and we will have another Victor saved and active.
He was found on a road in Uruguay and brought to Brazil by a trinket dealer last week, lucky to have seen it first.
This Victor MS needed an owner!

What a fun find. It needs just a bit of "good history" and it will be wonderful again. Jerry

Wow, what a nice find. The MS is one of the most beautiful Victor machines I think. Congratulations! Looking at your other machines I am sure it will look awesome in no time.
