FOR SALE: VICTOR R RIGID ARM MACHINE - $1500

Post by Dino Bravo »

I have for sale a VICTOR R rigid arm machine. This machine is a partially complete project machine. The case is good, and the motor board still has some striping. The spring slips, don't know if it has come loose or if it is broken. The horn elbow is as it appears and could possibly be repaired by someone who works with brass. I have the front mount screws as shown but don't have the rear back mount screws. Price is $1500. Pick up or will ship with in the United States. PO money order appreciated as payment or other etc. Thank you.

Hi Dino,

Sorry to say, but I belive your Rigid Arm is from a Victor E, and not correct on this machine.
I have added a picture of the correct Rigid Arm for a Victor R.

Hi Bob. Thank you for the correction. I recently had another Victor R rigid arm machine that I sold and it had the back mount like yours in the photo. I honestly thought that they may have made this type for the R too. My bad. I will try and change the title of the listing, and also adjust the price to $1100. Thank you

Beautiful R there Bob. How about a "Featured Phono" presentation of that when you have time!

Sorry Bruce, but I can't take credit for ownership of this machine. I found the picture on a web search.
