The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I have a nice Victor Victrola 1-90 for sale. This is the smallest true Orthophonic machine that Victor made. Many of these have been trashed over the years, but this one is in above average condition mechanically and cosmetically. It also has the correct, original gun metal finish reproducer. However, the reproducer needs rebuilding and new gaskets, possibly more. Priced accordingly. Note also that the turntable felt is a replacement. Asking $325 OBO. This has been my daily player for early electrics until recently.

As always, this can be picked up at my home in the Boston suburbs, or I can deliver it to Wayne or anywhere along the way, or most of Long Island NY, for free.

Please PM to reserve or ask questions.

Some pics. If you need more, just ask.

Hi,

How’s the support bracket - any swelling or cracks? Would you sell it without the reproducer?

The bracket is stable, but has obvious repairs. The top appears to be held in place with a blob of JB Weld or something similar. It has been this way since I got it some years ago and I have had no issues with it. I can take pics if need be.

The reproducer is not usable as is; it is included with the machine to keep it complete and correct and the machine is priced accordingly. Consider it to be a bonus.

Thanks, and sorry, that was supposed to be a pm.

Packing up for Wayne shortly. Please PM with any interest. Trades considered too!

The 1-90 is a really great little machine and this one is priced very reasonably IMO, I really like mine.

Can't update my post, but I'm pleased to say this has been sold.
