LOL what a great description! Who would dare to call it a crapophone!
Besides being one of the cutest little machines ever made, it's got tons of personality. No wonder it's so desirable today.
I'd be happy to own one of these

Here is another from an advertising brochure I have available on the Victor O

My goodness, no, this is most definitely NOT a crapophone! It's a puny, underpowered thing meant to appeal to the less-than-average record buyer of yesteryear, for sure, but these players are just as loud as the rest of the Victor lineup - excepting those with the giant wood horns, of course - and definitely hold more overall collector interest than the most common Victor models (I/II/III) do.

Yes absolutely agreed----and they are such appealing looking machines . I just thought it was funny when he said "so far no one's called it a crapophone" lol

Steven

and interestingly even though the motor is a bit noisey the smaller horn and angle mask quite a bit of noise vs music

Sounds like you have a very nice-playing example. The little Victor 0 is just too cute
