Help indentifly 2 machines

Post by travisgreyfox »

I was wondering what if anyone knows the models of these two off the top of there head? I'm thinking about buying one or both of them. The owner said the one of the left (Victrola) works, but the one on the right "needs the reproducer adjusted to work right"

He wants $125 for the vic and $75 for the other. Would you bite?

looks like a VV-X and an Edison LU-37... both seem dirt cheap.

The Victrola is a X. The speed control and reproducer would help to narrow down the year. The other is a mystery to me. A view of the reproducer or motor would help. If the Victrola is in good shape and original, it would be a good purchase. The other is not one that I would make room for, but that is just me.

Personally, I'd go for that little red number on top... 8-)

^OK maybe I'd take it for free :twisted:

Did the X have a 2-spring 240 motor in it? (if that's what it is)

The X uses a two spring motor.

Personally I would take the bicycle over the two machines.

The "Not the Victor" looks to be an Edison London upright.

The Victrola X looks nice but with the availability of the Internet nice stuff is appearing all over. Be selective.
