The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

So someone snagged them?

If I had to guess, I’d say these were from a 10-35

The 10-35 has space for four albums, and I believe it was intended to have 2 with 10 inch sleeves and 2 with 12 inch.

They could also go with the VE 7-26x Radiola-Electrola. I got mine from a fellow board member a few years ago and waited for my chance to get the albums. Thanks Stetam for posting the eBay link.

This set of leather bound albums were for a VE7-26X Electrola Radiola 18. 4 =12" bound albums with 2 having 10" sleeves. That is the only machine that contained this configured set.

Someone thought they were out of a VE10-35 Automatic Victrola, but the VE10-35X had 2= 12" bound albums and 2= 10" bound albums.

Mine has space for 4 12 inch albums, not 2 and 2 like I'd previously thought.

I need to report that this generated some more investigation on my part about the disposition of leather bound Victor albums. I have now had 3 reports from 10-35 owners and have seen photographs of one example that a 10-35 did indeed has this configuration of 2=12” bound albums with 10" sleeves and 2=12” bound albums with 12” sleeves.

I had previously reported an example of a 10-35 that had 10 and 12 in albums. But when asked to verify the owner recanted his previous claim.

Just a mistake on my part, hope there was no harm done.

None what so ever Greg.

Thanks again Stetam, the albums arrived yesterday in beautiful condition. I don't believe they were ever used.

The image I included in the earlier April 1st response was snagged off the web, here are the actual albums discussed, now in my 7-26X. Thanks also go out to Bab Barnett for selling this Electrola to me back in 2012. My camera skills are woefully inadequate to show just how nice the condition is on this one.
