Well, here she is! Fresh outta the wagon. It's super clean and has just one minor cabinet issue. I'm quite (okay extremely) pleased with it! Sounds pretty darned nice as it is, but of course a rebuild / seal and such will be in order shortly...

That is one of the nicest cabinets I've seen on a 20's victrola- ever. Now you'll have to do a Victor-Columbia tone test.

I don't think you could have gotten a better deal! If you decide to tackle the horn, could you post a few photos of the work in progress? I've seen a couple of photos of the full size horns used in the Columbia 800-series Viva Tonal phonographs, but never those from the 700-series models.

Absolutely beautiful. Great Buy!! Fill a big balloon w/ helium and let it float from room to room above the mess.

yes- post photos. There is little or nothing about these machines out there.
