Any opinions on rarity or value? I looked in the Victor Data Books and it looks like it's quite unusual. Please educate me!
Thanks, Jerry B.
I know that I would jump on it, but that is me. It looks nice and intact. Does it play electrically?? Is the amp and Electric Reproducer still intact? Pretty rare machine.
Just my 2 cents!

I figured that I should update this thread now that Ive finished working on this machine.
I after driving over 1000 miles to pick this machine up, I removed the back panels and found the machine complete on the inside Including a complement of factory installed tubes.
Unfortunately there were some damaged components including the plug socket for the induction motor which came spilling out in hundreds of pieces when I removed the back panels.
I've replaced and repaired all the damaged components, cleaned, lubricated, and sealed the machine and had all the electronics rebuilt and this is the result:

If wanted I can try to give the full story in a post on the machines category of this forum.

YES! Wanted. Please tell us more about it. I have the same machine. Complete, but with a cabinet nowhere near as beautiful as yours.

Impressive! Sounds great. Did you have to rebuild or otherwise service the horseshoe magnet driver that connects to the speaker? I don't doubt that the pickup needed a rebuild.
