Strange Exhibition??????

Post by Victrolacollector »

I found this very different Victor Exhibition reproducer on e-bay. Maybe I am wrong I think this would be the correct reproducer for my early 1912 VV-IV with the flat crank.

I have seen photos of the early VV-IV with the nickel back and front bezel? It is already $114.00, I think I should pass.

It is an odd Exhibition, but if you are going to bid, don't do it now. There are two relatively new bidders driving up the price. Since the end is days away, just wait until the last day and place your max bid at the end of the "auction"... If you place a proxy bid now, they will just bump it up until they find out how much you bid.

Thanks Curt:

I will try that, it would just be nice to put it on the VV-IV, but not worth 200.00 or more for a machine worth 200.00

Chuck has already ID'd it...

The triangular hole in the needle chuck makes me think it's later than 1909, as my 1909 VV-XVI has a gold plated "normal" Exhibition, with a round-hole needle chuck...

Wonder if it is pressed together, or what ?

It's also for the early VV IV with the metal grille from 1911 until 1912. It was also for the Victor O from that time, too. For the Victor O, it first came out in 1908 and used until 1912. This was also known as the Exhibition Jr., not to be confused with the Victor Jr. Also, this was used for late open horned Zonophones, or the Sears Oxford horned machines.

The Victrola VI machines type M, A, and (some) B were also fitted with this reproducer. I've noted a few 1912 and 1913 Victor I and Victor II machines which have been found with this sound box.
