WANTED Electrola and Orthophonic Manuals with Brown Cover

Post by MarkELynch »

I am seeking various Victor Electrola and Orthophonic brown covered Owner’s booklets and will pay a good price for ones not yet in the collection. Please PM or email with a picture of the cover (or model) and the price.

Thanks for your help with my quest!

Thanks very much for the many manual offers, I appreciate everyone’s help with this project!

While waiting I thought some of you might like to see part of the VV-XVIII user manual, this was one of the harder ones to find.

The 9-56 was produced in tiny numbers, I was fortunate to locate this manual a few years back.

I appreciate the replies so far, please keep me in mind if you have something to contribute, sell or happen to run into in your travels!

The R-20 is a radio only Victor product. I was lucky to find the machine and the manual.

I appreciate you tips and referrals for additional manuals.

If you ever come across the Victrola 7-25 Manual, let me know. I'd love to find a scan of that someday, but with such a low production # of 8K, I think it's safe to say it'll be a while.

That manual shouldn’t be too hard to find. Here is one in the collection with the original envelope.

The Automatic Electrola 10-70, one of three Electrola models using the first style changer, the others being the 9-55 and 10-51. The 10-70 is fairly uncommon but over the years I’ve found far more machines than manuals.

Attention all you 10-69 owners and ephemera collectors. I have a few extra exact replica manuals available. The specially printed replica 10-69 envelope with the string closer is included.

They are so close the the original that there is a disclaimer inside the front cover that describes them as being reprinted from an original in my collection. The run is very limited because of the production cost. I may do a few others but will limit the selection to ones that might help a large number of collectors.

PM or email to markelynch56@gmail.com if you need one.

Thanks!
Mark
