The other bits look like legitimate Victor pieces.
Others will know about the Victor stuff, but I know plumbing when I see it !

I see chrome-plated slip-joint sink drain sprayed flat-black.

Definitely a Victor II humpback with a whimsical plumbing pipe contraption between the elbow and back bracket. Looks like some lovely silver paint applied to the tonearm and turntable too. Nice touch. 
The seller does not include a picture of the crank side of the machine but if the motor has not been swapped out for a different one and no extra crank holes drilled for same then the current price is pretty fair as the horn, elbow, back bracket (what I can see), reproducer (1 balance spring is shot - easy fix) and cabinet look fine.

I personally like the butter knife crank handle and the silver spray painted tone arm/turnrable. The silver paint over spray on the motor board is included in the sale....

This is a perfect example of seeing in person before you buy. Otherwise, you may be in for some unpleasant surprises.

Good eye on picking up the butterknife crank

That's what I really love about Ebay, you are buying
a picture. A picture is worth a thousand words.
