You could be the owner of this beautiful Victor III restoration project! Of course it might need a little help…

For posterity, here is the one and only picture in the eBay listing. I have to assume that someone tacked on a Victor III nameplate (not shown in the picture) as otherwise there's no reason for the seller to make that claim. At $1200 Buy It Now, I don't think this qualifies as a bargain...

This looks similar to a Crown gramophone. These were made in Singapore/Malaysia.
