Resurrecting junkers (Vic V)

[alang]

I followed it as well and was very tempted, but simply don't have the funds right now. Not sure why you thought it was risky? There were plenty of clear pictures, the machine seemed complete aside from the horn and getting a Victor V under $1,000 is rare. To me it seems very restorable.

Andreas, what bothered me was the advanced corrosion of steel parts and the turntable aspect to the motorboard which might be a bent spindle or
turntable. Yes, the photos were quite sharp and I could have asked to see it since it was close-by but the bidding eventually scared me off it. -Bill

Like I said, I was very tempted as long as it sat in the $400-600 range. And you are correct, there was quite a bit of work in it. I may have to explain that I get my enjoyment out of resurrecting sad and neglected machines, not from collecting pristine examples. I could have had a lot of fun with it, but did not have the funds anyway.
