Wanted: Victor R phonograph

[KCW]

Thank you for posting this so quickly! Certainly interested. Is one portion of one side of the metal support arm rusted? Couldn’t see in one photo. One side looks ok. Can you post. Picture of both sides?

What price are you asking? Thank you again!

[fonograph]

I don't know if it's rust or just where the oxidation has rubbed off.
Does $750 sound fair enough?

Thank you! I agree, doesn’t look like rust. Silly question but does this machine have the “Remove this tag” metal label on it? I didn’t see it in your photos. Thank you humoring me in these questions!

[fonograph]

Nope. No evidence that it ever did.

This machine looks great. Thank you for posting all of these photos. It does look like the horn is a bit bigger than what I’ve seen with other machines (other Victor R’s). I’m a little crunched for space at the moment. Your price is fair. Would you happen to have the smaller horn? Thank you for your patience with these many questions.

[fonograph]

I have a smaller horn however the tone arm and support are longer than standard size to accommodate the larger horn. It's very uncommon to find an extended arm R.
I have 2 vic R so I'm selling one of them.

Thank you for this information! Will decide this week. I of course understand that in the meantime you may sell it. I’ll get back to you at the end of this week either way. I am most grateful for all of your responses and photos!

Thank you so much for posting everything here!! In the end I decided to go with another machine, but am VERY grateful for the time and energy you spent in replying and posting these many photos. I hope someone else here in the forum gets the amazing Victor R!
