Victor #4 - "A Beautiful Piece"
Seller's Description: "NO. 4 victor Victrola...a truly beautiful piece and it's brought in lots of shoppers as a window display. Alas, I'm changing my window and passing the luck on to you! Runs fine" (No mention of the left front corner being chewed off)

I knew you would ask, but unfortunately because of the virus, I'm not allowed to say... no sense upsetting any more people.gramophone-georg wrote:"A beautiful piece".... of what?

Re: Victor #4 - "A Beautiful Piece"
I have no room and it's way too expensive, but it's a Victor IV and we can't just see it rusting away like this. So I made them an offer of $250.
We will see what happens. It's not a good example, and I think the seller is just weird, but even in bad shape it's a Victor IV.
I probably won't get it--which is fine, I don't have a place for it as I'm currently sleeping on the couch. (My brother has my bed as he's visiting and that got prolonged due to quarantine.) But if I can get it, it's going to find at least somewhere until it is repaired. Probably would take me a year to get it fully in one piece. Would I rather buy my junkers from you guys? Yes. Would I rather NOT buy a Vic IV right now? Of course. Can a phonograph fan sit there and watch one decay? Not a chance.
So nothing ventured nothing gained.
