Rigid Arm Victor M

Post by Jerry B. »

Here are photos of a Rigid Arm Victor M I purchased about a week ago. When I looked at the seller's photos I thought it might be a candidate for refinishing. But this is what a good cleaning with GoJo followed by some Howards Feed & Wax will do. DeeDee put me in charge of my own Christmas gift and I am delighted. I think I'm a pretty good shopper.

What a great Christmas present! And the Sherman Clay tag really tops it off. Lovely machine.

That's beautiful Jerry! I hope to add a Rigid Arm Type E to my collection this coming year.

Best,

I wish I was getting that for Christmas! I'll just get another jumper (sweater).

Merry Christmas,

What does it sound like? Is it comparable to a Victor III or something? I've never heard one with such an early reproducer on it.
