Victrola Talking Machine Co. Victrola - Model # VV-215. This beautiful antique record player is in amazing condition for its long life beginning somewhere around 1923. It stands 3' tall by 1'9" by 2'9", and weighs approximately 75lbs. This item is in great original condition to have not been restored (any marks or scratches are minimal and can be seen in photos.). It has the original brand logo on the inside and has the original model and serial number tag. The side crank is missing but this piece can be found for cheap purchase.

Yikes...

A very advanced machine for its time! But it's worthless without the "crank"

Well, clearly one person didn't want a Victrola. As for others, ???

And perhaps no one will want this thing, either. We'll see....

The point that stood out to me here is that the seller thinks it's all original and needs the missing crank.

Well, how would they know any better. Most folks don't know what a record is. Anyway, we'll see it next on Pinterest stuffed full of wine bottles and painted pink & gray.

Well, you need the crank ("winding key" in Vicotrspeak) to turn the thing on!

What... no needle cups....I guess he did not see the cord coming out of the machine Tom B
