The Victor belt buckle is a nice touch. And it still has it's original felt from Jo-Ann Fabrics. One must admit though that they are making gradual improvements; the horn elbow for example is rounded now instead of the previous angle.

Hard not to get conned indeed, when chances are there's not a single authentic piece of Victor on the thing. Something about "the willing suspension of disbelief" applies to old phonographs as well as literature.
