VICTOR IX AND MATCHING TEA CART - WILL SEPARATE
Posted: Fri Feb 23, 2024 8:15 pm
This is the 2nd posting for this machine. Original posting was last year but it didn't sell.
My collection has gotten too big for me and I am planning on selling several machines. As time goes I will be taking pictures and posting other machines.
1st up I have this mahogany Victor Victrola IX with matching cart. A rare find together as you don't find many of these carts. The fancier base combination. This is a project for someone. The IX is in pretty good condition. Everything seems correct for this machine. This machine plays a record and the speed is steady. Easily plays thru a record on a single winding with lots to spare as the motor spins for minutes after the record has finished. It has a small mark on the side lid and the crank side and a water mark down the back. The motor makes a thumping sound but only did it once during play so the springs aren't that bad. The reproducer works but could benefit from a rebuild.
The cart functions well and the wheels turn easily but has a crack in the bottom board and the dividers will need to be reinstalled but are included. Someone before me glued this back together and for whatever reason didn't bother to wipe the excess glue so some time will be needed to remove that. I am not a carpenter so I'm not going to try reinstalling the shelves. I'll leave that for the new owner.
Pictures show the pair and condition. Ask any questions you have and I'll get you a quick answer.
I have about $425 invested in this and would like to get my investment back but I am open to fair offers. I can not ship this. It is available for pickup. I live in Canada on the Detroit border. I am willing to bring this to Stanton's in April for delivery if that helps. Thanks.
