ALL gold victor data plate???

[PHONOMIKE]

I am looking at a Victor VI that has an all gold data plate. I have only ever seen them with the black raised areas on the plate.

Does anyone know if Victor made any of these? Was it part of a re-plating job?

Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

It has been stripped of its gold plating and black contrast paint right down to the unfinshed brass planchette. The plate is not refinished - it is unfinished.

The mahogany is refinished. John

Yeah, both the plate and the cabinet have been refinished, and not properly. That will cost a bit to fix.

Unless the lighting is making for odd reflections, the swirls on the surface look as if someone has sanded it down.
