The Victor V I had for years and sold last spring was that red oak color as well. I've seen a few other machines just like it.brianu wrote:I thought that something like that could be the case as well, and that would make this scarce version even more interesting... but it also has that dealer marker, suggesting it progressed through retail sale in a store (instead of just being abandoned during production because of the color error (if its an error at all))... could this possibly have been a special order finish?
I still have the oak record cabinet I bought separately from the above Vic V and it is the red oak color on the outside, but more golden on the inside. I don't know if someone redid the outside years ago or if what I call "red oak" was a known factory variant for Victors and this cabinet was finished to match when it was built. Odd that it's a different color inside, though. This cabinet fits the Vic V footprint exactly.
