The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Fully functioning restored 1927 VE 10-50 Type 1 changer Victrola.

Super low serial number 558. The 58th one built.

Just finished cleaning, waxing, and polished her up. I believe the finish is original and is in great condition.

Replaced all 5 pot metal parts with cast aluminum ones that a local foundry made for me.

Replaced all 4 pot metal record size selector gears with quality brass Boston Gear Company gears.

Replaced all the felt including the interior of the record drawer.

All, I mean all the gold plating is in excellent condition.

Reproducer is in fantastic condition but not rebuilt.

The changer and motor were completely taken apart, cleaned up, oiled, and greased.

New 8’ cloth covered power cord with round 2 conductor plug and receptacle.

Custom cart with 4” swivel wheels included upon request.

Free delivery in the next 7 days if you are along my route between Florida to Ohio to Virginia and back to Florida, if you buy it by Wednesday evening September 5th. Small fee to go off route. Next trip would be around the holidays.

Otherwise I can ship by freight and provide you a quote.

Beautiful machine... looks great. Do you take a fork lift with you on the delivery?

Thanks Curt and yes I do, sorta. It’s hand cranked (appropriately), made by http://www.Vestil.com.

That seems like a fantastic price for this. You'd never be able to buy an unrestored one and make it look/run like that for anything close. Good luck with your sale!

Oh, the humanity - if any of you has ever had the slightest inclination to own one of these, this is the one to get. Holy mackerel, what a deal, and it has been gone through and made right by the closest the world has to the top expert on this mechanism. And the tiptop cosmetics are the icing on the cake.

I already have one, and am on the wrong coast, but I'm fighting my impulses.

Very Nice!!! This should sell FAST

Holy cow. The price is less than I sold mine for with problems over ten years ago, and this one looks really clean. I'll be shocked if it isn't sold by the end of the week.

I am surprised that this isn't SOLD yet. I am just a bit too far out of his road trip to go after it. Besides, I am waiting on Wayne's replacement parts to get mine going.
