I messaged you about the Victor E. There was a nice one that sold for $650 in July of last year at the CAMPS swap meet in N.C. When I say "nice" I mean ready to play records on and everything.
They're the cutest Victor products made this side of the old Model R.

If you were looking to sell these then they should be in the Yankee Trader section with an asking price. Please review the posting guidelines.

Ebay is probably going to prove a good option. They seem to be doing well in the auctions with five days to go. Apparently the market is right if you have small machines--which tells me collectors run out of space faster than they do money!

It's hard to appraise a project or parts machines without getting your hands on them. The photos are good but there is no mention of reproduction parts. The horn on the Victor E does not appear to fit the elbow snugly. The same horn appears to be damage free which also suggests its newness. I suspect the horn is an inexpensive reproduction built without a tapered shoulder to accept the elbow. Both machines appear to need nickeling. And how do you nickel only some of the parts and make it look good? Both machines are very worthy projects but in their current conditions and level of completeness the values are difficult to appraise. Ebay is a good place for them.

Nice looking project machines, the sort I like to find. Has either or both been refinished? I've gone to the eBay listings and looked at the top of the humpback and thought this machine might have been refinished. Of course, I've been wrong before.
