Time for the "Identify this model" game! : )

Looks like someone went crazy with the sandpaper and or stripper on this one.
Anyone know what model this is please? I am thinking it may be good for parts
at the right price.

Appears to be a VV-220

I have found that excellent examples are very difficult to sell for much more than $150.00-$175

The machine does have a four-spring motor, though.

Correct, as the owner confirmed just now. The weird thing is though on the
victor info website it says it has a 2-spring motor.

It does'nt seem to make sense considering this was a "deluxe" model with
gold hardware in the era of 4 spring motors. Could the website be wrong
possibly?
