I never really need help identifying most models made by victor, but this one really has me puzzled. If anyone can help it would be appreciated.
Thanks

Can someone identify this Victrola?

Re: Can someone identify this Victrola?
That’s a very interesting piece. That horn opening looks suspicious though. Reminds me of the VV 1-70 with those columns. Also, orange felt combined with a pre-orthophonic tonearm seems odd. Hard to tell from the pictures but I also didn’t seem to notice a decal on the lid, and the finish appears to be original. Just my thoughts. It’s a pretty cabinet though.

I saw this one on Marketplace too. It almost looks like someone "dropped in" a tabletop cabinet, and put borrowed Victrola parts to complete the set-up.
I bet it's not a Victrola cabinet, but I'd be interested to find out what company made it.

I’ll take that bet... looks like a VE 10-35.

It does exactly, except the legs are different as well as the door pulls and other embellishments. And yes, the grille is from a 1-70. Nicely done, but a Frankenola.Victrola-Monkey wrote:I’ll take that bet... looks like a VE 10-35.

The needle holder against the back wall is for holding Tungstone needles. It appears this piece was a custom build.

Interesting. Kinda reminds me of this thing I found a few years ago. Must be a handyman machine.
