The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hello! I've had this Victrola for a few years after having inherited it through an ex's family. I think it's a really neat piece, but I don't have the resources to restore it, and I'm moving soon and have decided not to move it half way across the country again.

So, I'm offering this VV 8-4 for free to a good home, but it you have to be able to come by and pick it up from it's current location in Fort Worth, TX.

I don't know a lot of details about it, other than it's a VV 8-4, serial number 8312, which I understand places it's manufacture date in 1926.

There are some significant exterior scratches, and the mechanism appears to not be functional.

I've attached some photos. Please let me know if there's any piece of it you'd like photographed in greater detail.

Thanks!

That's very generous of you! I hope it goes to a nice home.

Yes, it is very generous of you. Thank you for taking the time to seek out people that will take care of this machine.I am sure there will be someone in your area that will gladly take oyu up on your offer.

The 8-4 has always been a favorite: Premium sound for smallish digs without the imposing size of a Credenza. That's a generous offer and I too hope it goes to an appreciative home! Best of luck.

Wrong taper tube and sound box for an Orthophonic, but what the hey?---it's free!
