I have taken better photographs of this rare machine. I do not need to tell anyone how uncommon these Victor Type-B "FISH MOUTH," "DOLPHIN," or "FIGHTING DOLPHIN" model phonographs are. These machines are later, but rarer than the "fluer-de-lis" Trademarks.
The crank, bullet brake and knurled speed control are reproductions from Mirek Stehlik in Canada.
The Concert reproducer is original to the machine, and was rebuilt many years ago by Michael Devecka.
The finish is as I found it. There is some loss that would be typical with age. The area under the turntable is obviously quiet pristine.
The horn is average. The elbow is original and very good for it's age. The record hold down and turntable felt are original.
The last two machines like this that came to auction went for $12,650 and $9,200 after buyer's premium. Because of the reproduction parts, I am pricing this machine very competitively! I can bring the machine to Union in June, 2017. Potential buyers are obviously encouraged to see the machine in person when making this kind of an investment. Come to Green Bay to inspect and purchase this machine if want!
I will ship the machine if that is what the new owner wishes. I have decided to SHIP FOR FREE!
I have REDUCED the price to $7,495. This is about all I can do. I will certainly entertain serious offers. Please PM me if you are interested! Just say "SOLD!!!"
I have other photographs which I should be able to send via zip file if needed.
Thanks,
Jeff
