The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

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

$2850 complete as seen in photos or $2350 without Record Albums, Original Manual, and 1927 Record Catalog.

If you are looking to spend less for the same functionality as this machine but willing to live with a cabinet not quite as nice, please see my 4th restored VE 10-50 at:

This is the third VE 10-50 I have restored and have sold the other two to TMF members this year who have indicated they are very pleased with it's operation and condition.

Serial number 3914. Mid range serial number style that has it all, the gold lamp shade, the drawer, and the shelf with the record loader.

Includes all of the record album boxes, the original manual, the 1927 Record Catalog, and a 12' cloth covered power cord with original plug and socket.

Just finished cleaning, waxing, and polished her up. The finish is original and is in very nice 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.*

*Note that the aluminum and brass replacement kits cost about $500.

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

Gold plating is in very nice condition.

Reproducer in good condition, sounds great, but not rebuilt (at least not by me).

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

Custom cart with 4” swivel wheels included upon request.

Free delivery in the next couple weeks if you are along my route between Florida to Ohio to New Jersey and back to Florida, or can meet at the Wayne, NJ Phonograph Show on October 14th, 2018.

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

Apologies for the side ways pictures (when seen on your computer... they're ok on a smart phone). Just tap on the picture to see it upright.

Sometimes I really wish I had the space for one of these.

That makes two of us... that machine is a work of art!

I am one of those TMF members who bought a 10-50 from Wayne. He does s fantastic job restoring these fabulous machines to their original glory. I am thrilled with my 10-50!

Roy,
Thank you for your kinds words and I'm glad you are enjoying your VE 10-50.

Adam,
If you could make the space, I'd be happy to make a side trip to Chicago from Columbus just for the price of gas ($100), while my girlfriend is visiting her dad. The following link shows pictures of the special care and method I would use to do so:

George,
And if you could make the space, I'd be happy to put in the serious and well worth the effort to package it up for freight delivery. The best quote for freight shipment to Oregon is $670. The following link details the custom pallet I would build that converts the "I-cart" that I'm including with the sale (actually, my next version will have more pallet sticking out around the machine for added protection):

LOWER PRICE: I discounted the two prices to help anyone that’s on the fence. I did this because I may need start my drive within the week since my mother in NJ just went into the hospital and the sooner I do what I gotta do before I leave, the better.

I'm interested, sent a PM
