The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Looking for as many 8” Victors as I can find, all conditions and titles considered. Send me a message if you’ve got any to part with!

Ah, is someone trying to corner the market on records you can't get sleeves for? I have exactly one, because an eBay seller couldn't tell an 8 incher from a 7 incher.

Trade ya for a Vic VI. I'll even cover shipping costs.

Check your PMs.

Tempting...

You can get sleeves for them...the Disc-O-File sleeves which cost more than the records themselves. I'm not willing to publicly admit how many I've bought over the years. But my record collection is completely uniform and well organized!

My VV-XVI Has a manual that shows 8, 10 and 12 inch records. I often wonder if some may have confused the 7" for an 8" record?

That's all I use on my "good" records - Disc-O-File sleeves. Not cheap but worth it to me

They are indeed worth it (to me). I use the Bags unlimited antique green sleeves on 10" discs of standard value, and the Disc-o-Files on everything else.
