Oh, ok! Sorry for the misinterpretation. When under such stress for such an apparently good machine, one starts to shoot in all directions...

In fact I have already received the answer: it was SOLD.

The offer must have been high enough to finish the offer immediately, since there were still 2 days left.

its ok!
you will have to keep a eye out for another! if your up for a challange you can get a wrecked victor and restore it! it shouldnt cost too much to do that!
i will let you know if i find one on ebay!

Good news of all this:

When I looked at that Victor I really had the gut feeling... I knew it was it, and the seller has posted a lot of detailed photos! But unfortunately my rational self told me: "man, you don't know the parts! It could well be a well disguised Frankenphone (or Francenphone in this case) ..."

At least this made me not wish to buy any of the gramophones that I posted so far. Better wait for the One.

By the way, I leave here my e-mail address *********

If I were you I would take your email out of your post and save that for a private message, or perhaps that is just me.
