New to me: Victor II humpback
I knew about this phonograph for a few years. It was in a basement of someone I met that wanted his other phonographs working again. He has a near mint VV-XIV, an Edison Lab model, Edison Amberola 30, and a Kimball that all needed attention. I got them all working and never charged him for it. He called me yesterday and said that if I wanted the Victor II that he would sell it. I was to his place in a jiffy. It has a badly repainted aftermarket horn but the rest looked great. Here are some before and after pictures. I couldn't believe how minty it was under the dirt. This one might be a keeper.

This Victor II was even in better condition than the one in the collection. It even matches the horn better.

Re: New to me: Victor II humpback
It really glows. What process did you follow to revive the finish so successfully?

I just cleaned the case with a damp cloth and then used a product called Furniture Mask to polish it. The nickel parts were polished with Flitz.
