The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

"G" suffix would definitely have Exhibition as original equipment; see http://www.victor-victrola.com/XVI.htm

What's the serial number on your machine?

General rule is: "fat" tone arm, no. 2. "Skinny" arm, Exhibition. From your photo, looks like yours has the skinny, but it's hard to tell from here.

Somebody in Carbondale had some money to spend. Town was a railroad center (Delaware & Hudson) because of the anthracite industry; it's situated near the northeastern extremity of the Northern anthracite field.

Lovely machine!

Congratulations, beautiful machine!
These are wonderful large victrolas.

I believe that the Exhibition reproducer is correct as others have stated.

Here is a pic of my 1915 VV-XVI model H.

Absolutely stunning:)) Goosebumps:))

Nice duster! I have a black one that simply reads "Velvaloid Record Cleaner". Oh, yeah, nice machine too!
