Prison made Victors

Post by emerson »

I have 1 or 2, I think 16's that when I bought them the dealer said ----the motors and other parts, may have been made and or assembled in a NY State prison? Anyone ever hear of that?

Sounds like dealer embellishment.... ;). Victor had tight QC of their products and promoted that through their advertising with zeal.

Maybe the dealer was confused with State licence plates... :lol:.

It would likely be more expensive to move parts from NJ to NY for assembly than to assemble them at the factory.. plausible but not likely true.. I would like to see some more evidence before believing it
