What model Victor is this??

Post by flashpanblue »

Hello,
A Radio collector friend of mine just bought a batch of radios and this Phonograph was included. Can anyone please tell me what model it may be?
Thanks
Pete

To my eyes, it looks like a Talkophone case with a Victor back bracket.

I think you're right, Bob and Larry. I didn't blow up the image before, but the remnants of the speed control looks more like Talkophone than Victor. I stand corrected. :)

Boy! You guys are good. I would not have guessed Talk-o-phone. So then this machine would have originally been a front mount version that someone has added a rear mount Victor bracket?

Pete,

The late Talkophones had a rear mount, but it was different from the Victor, (see the pic).
Yours was probably swapped out some time in the past.

It's a Talkophone Clarke. If you got the phonograph cheap, you have some great parts. It looks like this was married together for a very ling time. The Talkophone arm parts can be found on ebay or this Forum.

That's a nice work bench. Classy.
