The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hi. New member here. I have a 2 VV4-3's . They have differences, one is a more simple cabinet and the other has a fancier cabinet that i dont find in a google search. Is it because its Canadian? Anyone know how many different designs of cabinet on the VV4-3(Consolette)? Thanks

Does a pic help?

To answer your question....some Canadian models tend to look a little different to the US counterpart; even though the model designation remains the same. This also applies to old wooden radios.

Hope this helps.

This is a picture of mine. I also have a great sounding Alvara for which I am trying to find door hardware in a wanted ad here on TMF forum. My wife loves the 4-3 (Consolette).
The 4-3 is a very nice and great sounding Victrola.

Yes my other one is like that with the bullseye on it. Has anyone seen any like the top one? Can post more pics.

Here's one that's available near me --> Clicky

Thats like mine! Tried clicking the clicky but error. Is this on kijiji?

Canadian machines can be very hard to find. I have a dear friend that was looking for a VV-XIII. It was only produced for the Canadian market and only in a very limited supply. I finally got him one from the late Bob Johnson.

Yes on Kijiji --> http://www.kijiji.ca/v-art-collectibles ... =true//url

Long drive for me Mr Grumpy. Nice piece though.
