The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Update: I can bring the whole unit to Wayne!

Hate to let this go already, but my job situation is fluctuating, along with graduating from school. Putting feelers out there for someone who would want to buy the whole unit, as I really believe this was an original setup and not fiddled with since its original purchase. The cabinate fits the base of the machine flawlessly. This is a rare LATE Victor III, with elements of the Victrola design features present. It has a switch brake, the tone arm has Victrola features... Runs and plays great. The governor works fine, but I would replace the springs and weights, you can tell it had been repaired in the past, and these springs do wear down after 90+ years. I rebuilt the reproducer, but it needs a new flange. Its a nice original setup, its seen some wear but presents well and the aging is consistent with use, not neglect. Anyone interested in PICK UP send me a PM. I live in Long Island City NY. Its right between Brooklyn and Queens, near a few highways. (I don't drive here, but I believe you can get from the NJ side, in the tunnels relatively quickly.

I know this is a terrible photo, the light today is just not there. I will get better photos up, but wanted to get the word out.

Asking $1800 and open to offers.

Are you going to the Wayne show, and if so, are you bringing your Vic III?

I really wish I could! I am in Long Island City (11101) but will not be able to get anything to Wayne. I was posting this for collectors who will be driving themselves to the region and would be interested enough to come to my area to pick up.

Any interest out there? I definitely can bring to Wayne Sunday morning. Make an offer and maybe you will get lucky!

$1650. Any takers? The whole unit.

quick pics

Victor III now has new governor weights and the reproducer is rebuilt. Looking for local pickup. PM if interested. Zip code 11101

Boy, I wish I was close by, I'd get it in a heartbeat. I live clear across the country from you, near Seattle, WA. That set up is so cool. I really like those very late Victors. They are seldom seen, and so unusual.

If you can get it to Union, I'll bring it to Harvey at no charge. Jerry
