Re: What exactly is this?
An assemblage of this and that. A Victrola cabinet with the top doors replaced by a home brew grille and it looks like a motor board from a different machine with some sort of do-it-yourself filler strips around it to make it fit. Could be worth the asking price for parts, though.

Re: What exactly is this?
I think it's a Victrola mechanism dropped in an off brand cabinet. Yes, it has a Victrola decal but they are available or possibly the veneer was transferred with the decal. The shape of the lid is not Victor. The lid support is not Victor. The general shape of the cabinet is similar but different than a Victrola. After all, literally every company lined up after Victor and offered very similar cabinets. Jerry Blais
