The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Did Victor continue production of acoustic machines with the "fat" taper-tube and mica-diaphragm soundbox after 1925, or was this machine modified ?

No they didn't. This is a Consolette model, and it had an Orthophonic arm, The grille cloth is not original either. This was cobbled together.

The Phamous Phabulous PheasantPhone ! Possibly priceless.

If all parts are working correctly, how would acoustic records sound on this?

Probably very decent

Its even got the rare '75 LPM' records with it!

That grille cloth is a wee bit frightening.

'75 LPM' must be Laughs Per Minute? as I read posts like this one.

I've seen a few like this. I suspect that the back bracket broke and they borrowed the tonearm from their previous machine.

I think I ordered this once at a restaurant...."Pheasant under Victrola".... LPM,LPM,LPM,LPM or
