I'm not clear what your question is. These machines are rather common on the US side of the Atlantic. I sold one at auction and have seen at least three more offered at various auctions in my area. They also come up with some frequency on eBay. Are you looking for one already in the UK? or for one here in the US that would then need to be shipped to you? They're heavy.

One over here I did see one about four months ago whilst out in Derby about half an hour from me and it was £80 but I only had £50 unfortunately.

Unless it was a wreck, £80 for a VV-50 in the UK was a steal. I would have run to the nearest cashpoint.

I wouldn't say a wreck but it was bloody rough it had traces of past woodworm although it didn't seem active and one of the corner protectors were missing and it did run (barely). But I'll eventually get a much nicer one. Eventually......

I'm thinking they'd be pretty rare in the UK, why would anyone import Victors when we had HMV dealers in every town?
