Good question. First one I've seen. Obviously a fake, but with at least some genuine parts and the cabinet looks better made than the fakes out of India.

It actually does have some real parts! Anyone who searches VV-100 would certainly realize that this machine is a fake.

If an upside to the flood of this junk can be seen, it is this. This past week a local estate sale outfit sold a Victor V missing its crank and reproducer. Nothing odd in that except they must have priced it based on that new junk. If I had seen it in time, I could have had it for $250.

Maybe an "upside" for collector/buyers, but a "downside" for collector/sellers...Roaring20s wrote:If an upside to the flood of this junk can be seen, it is this.
