Victor O - Recent Purchase - Finished!

[Jerry B.]

I picked up this Victor O from a friend in Wisconsin on my recent Union trip. I enjoy a good project. Is there anyone that would only repair the tone arm?

The case will possibly look OK with a gentle cleaning and maybe a little wax. But that horn! Ugh! I don't know who painted it, but it's not to my liking.

Hey. You asked.

Paint the brown/ black parts of the horn green. Problem solved! Quack, quack! After all, it IS a Model , right?

Let's ask Nipper...

Nipper is a party- pooper.

Anyone have a suggestion for an off the shelf rattle can that's close to the original Victor O horn color?

Thanks, Jerry B.

If you take a good picture of a correct horn, or better, get someone with a correct horn to go to a good paint store or auto body shop they can scan it and match the color, or at least let you know the RGB numbers.

Thanks for the good advice. Jerry

AZ, I also appreciate your advice. But close inspection revealed that the top board was tapped off. When returned it was secured with little finish nails. I tapped them down and filled them in an attempt to hide them. So I've started down the refinishing path.

When I stripped the horn I found blue paint under the more recent yellow with brown trim. I didn't notice any traces of the original yellow.
