Canadian cabinet designs

Post by novascotia victrola »

Hi. New member here. I have a 2 VV4-3's . They have differences, one is a more simple cabinet and the other has a fancier cabinet that i dont find in a google search. Is it because its Canadian? Anyone know how many different designs of cabinet on the VV4-3(Consolette)? Thanks

To answer your question....some Canadian models tend to look a little different to the US counterpart; even though the model designation remains the same. This also applies to old wooden radios.

Hope this helps.

This is a picture of mine. I also have a great sounding Alvara for which I am trying to find door hardware in a wanted ad here on TMF forum. My wife loves the 4-3 (Consolette).
The 4-3 is a very nice and great sounding Victrola.

Notice the bulls eye. The American model does not have it.

Canadian machines can be very hard to find. I have a dear friend that was looking for a VV-XIII. It was only produced for the Canadian market and only in a very limited supply. I finally got him one from the late Bob Johnson.
