1927 Victor NON-Orthophonic ???

Post by De Soto Frank »

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.

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

That grille cloth is a wee bit frightening. :o

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