Re: Victor XXV Schoolhouse on Ebay

Well here goes my first post as the "new" kid here. This Victor XXV is owned by the former owner of the East State Street Antique mall in Rockford IL. As I live close to Rockford I've seen this machine quite a bit at the old mall, then called Mall #2. The extrusion is indeed wood without a bearing surface for the crank to rub against. He is asking what was originally the price when it was in the mall. To put it nicely he has more money than knowledge when it comes to antiques.
As for myself I've been interested in music and phono's since about 1969. I am in no way an "expert" as I am learning new things about these devices every day. My tastes in music are what we could call "Catholic". My first windup was a Birch portable. Soon I graduated to a Victrola #210. And the cylinder, open horn, orthophonic, etc..
I remember the Union show from when it was in tents and we walked on planks to keep from sinking in the mud.
I've enjoyed your lurking on this insightful and informative forum since it's birth, and of course it re-birth.
Thank you.
