The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

This guy thinks he has a genuine antique Victor here
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Victor-Phonogra ... 1c47d1b672

The horn looks like it was plumbed by the Three Stooges

What's frightening is that two people have put this on their "watch list". Hopefully, they're watching just to see who would buy this "thing". I love the ID tag and the spelling "New Jersy"

Per the seller:
"Selling an Antique Victor Phonograph...from the early 1900's"

...the phonograph is not functional, don't know what it would take for it to function
...the horn is loose on the top...stays in place though
...overall in decent condition...SOLD AS IS, look at pictures to asses condition!

This seller needs the eBay truth in advertising award for 2014:

Point #1 - this is not an antique phonograph from the early 1900's - it isn't anything.
Point #2 - if you don't know what it would take to function, you shouldn't be listing it, as this - whatever it is would be impossible to function.
Point #3 - decent condition compared to WHAT?

This doesn't even qualify as a Crap-O-Phone...

I think we need a new category:

"Toxic-Waste-O-Phone"....

That's the rare version with the platter heater as seen by the wall transformer and wiring to it...

Hey, don't insult the Three Stooges Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk!! BTW, I was one of the 2 who had it on my watch list. I just had to see if somebody bought this. I didn't notice "Jersy". I would have cracked up id it said "Joisy".
