Collecting

[dutchman]

I think my auction strategy is flawed. After the last two auctions I have wound up with a Victor Model O missing the horn and horn elbow, a Standard Model A horn, back bracket, tone arm and reproducer missing the cabinet! Where have I gone wrong I have about 45 machines and I believe this is a message to wrap up collecting Cheers

Maybe see if anyone on here is willing to trade?

Do you bid online without seeing the items in person?
There's no substitute for inspecting something personally or through a knowledgeable friend.

All that can turn into money if you bought it right.

The above posts are good ideas.

Thanks for the responses. The stuff was bought at two local auctions, the Model A which runs, and the Standard horn and complete back bracket were just too nice to let go. The Model O came with the the Searchlight horn, and the Standard horn was stacked on a table full of old tools. The reason I went for this stuff was I figured I could salvage both and secure the parts to complete them, after all they were popular machines. Unfortunately coming up with a Model A horn and elbow may not be easy.... Bill k

I think that the model A horn and elbow should not be too hard to find. Do you attend any phono shows?

I'm confuzzled. I thought you had the Model A horn, arm, elbow, and back bracket but needed the cabinet or machine.

Me too... Completing a Standard Model A shouldn't be a problem, but the Victor O is another story...

Typo, perhaps?
