It's a Frankenphone from top to bottom. A Victrola VI was never a horn machine. The horn machine parts are Columbia. From my point of view the Victor decal on the horn is a weak attempt to mislead a potential buyer. The only value to the whole thing is the Columbia parts. It's a total fraud worth a fraction of the price.

I agree 100%. If this doesn't constitute outright fraud, I don't know what would!

And the listing even includes the image showing what a VV-VI SHOULD look like. I guess they assume that no one will notice that those photos don’t show an external horn.

Yep! This one just checks ALL the boxes... wonder if it's a phono nerd messing with us and watching this space.

Wait- he DID forget to place the needle in "plow" position on that DD... 50 demerits!! :evil:

It's possible the OP didn't realize it was a Franken. The OP just seems to post links to eBay auctions with no commentary.

It's a "legitimate" eBay listing... and this is an eBay "Alert"... :roll: :lol:

Besides, it was already posted on the Crapophone sub forum... viewtopic.php?f=16&t=43693
