Victor identification

Post by oceanlinerfanatic »

Hello all, Can anyone Id this model of a Victor machine? Disc machines are not my type of interest as much as cylinders are so I don't know much about them. I'm sure plenty of you will know it as soon as you see it :lol:
Thank you

Total dilettante here, but isn't the crank hole in the wrong place for a II? Maybe a 1 or a late rear mount Z?

It might be a 1. I doubt its a z, didn't they stop making Z's by the time the body style with no columns came out?

I mentioned a Z because one popped up on eBay that looks like a 1 but has a Z tag. It's eBay, so who knows.

True. Although I notice the tag is in a different place, & it seems to be a smaller cabinet

A mystery machine! The crank position matches the later style Vic I not the Vic II, yet the bullet brake is in the wrong place and for a Vic I and the motor board latch should be on the rear not the side (the picture resolution is too low to tell)? The horn isn't a slip in like on the later Vic 1s.

As far as I know, the Vic Z only overlapped with the 8" Vic I's, not this later style case. Victor did on occasion put its cheaper machines out with different configurations sometimes without good documentation.

So I conclude IDK... .
