I just found Victor Electrola RE 45 in my uncle's basement

Post by Loriebenglish »

I just found Victor Electrola RE 45 in my uncle's basement. It was a jewel of a find. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me whether or not this model came with no legs. The one I found does not have legs but looks like a normal size.

IT should have legs. A flooded basement has been the demise of many radio cabinet legs. You should be able to find a set.

It would be a good unit for parts to repair others.
Not worth creating legs as too many original samples survive.

If you're looking to have it restored there's a complete set of legs on eBay right now.

I second Tom's suggestion! That is an excellent price for a pair of original, good condition legs.

I change my opinion. To have a set of RE-45 legs show up on e-Bay for a reasonable price
is a sign to save this one.
