1901 $3.00 Victor Found - Need parts

[gramophone78]

Well,I'm going to jump in on here just to say that there was one of those copies on Ebay just a few weeks ago.I would also like to add that the one showen (incomplete) here as the incorrect spring weights (3) on it.The real model would have brass and shaped like the example shown.I just hope you did not pay big $$$ for it.Can anyone remember what the one sold for a few weeks ago???.I never followed it.I think it was in Italy.To add old rubber feet (to fool a person) is a minor detail.

Like I said in my last post, I do not have much money into this so I am proceeding with a low cost seat of the pants approach to having a working model to demonstrate. Let us know if you find the ebay address of the fake one that just sold on ebay, I really want to see what a complete fake is suppose to look like. I appreciate all the input from Collectors like yourself who give of their time to steer folks in the right direction.

Just doing a quick follow up. I have located a repro support arm for this, and I am still pursuing the other parts. The horn is unique to this machine and seems to match pretty closely as far as dimensions the horn for the Victor P or Victor E (Monarch Jr.), minus the brass bell of course. The Reproducer is unique to the Toy Victor as well, and looks strikingly similar to the reproducer for a front mount Busy Bee Grand Disc Gramophone. Just wonder whether anyone has located the ebay address of that repro Victor Toy that was mentioned in a previous thread. Also I would assume since repros were made of this toy Victor some 30 or 40 years ago, that occasionally the parts from these copies also show up from time to time on Ebay ie: Horn, reproducer etc. Has anyone ever seen any come up for sale?
