The museum is getting back one nice machine .. I think everyone on the forum appreciates you tips, tricks, and work that was documented with the restoration of this beautiful machine. You showed how to restore and leave original this machine that anyone in the forum would be proud to own. For someone who works on them to a novice this shows what products and how to use them properly. Tom B

I think that you met your goal and then some. It's nice that you did this for them and preserved a nice machine too. I hope that it is appreciated.

I delivered the Victor II, "humpback", back to the Osage County Historical Society Museum, Pawhuska, OK,
along with an album of period records and a Victor needle tin full of soft and loud tone needles.
Needless to say, it was a hit.
