Interesting carved Victor machine Southern Ontario

$240

Beautiful cabinet in Walnut? Perhaps stripped but worth a look. I have no room. Someone should pick it up before it becomes a hutch in someone's dining room.

It's an interesting cabinet, especially if it was a custom order. The problem is getting it into the US, since Canada doesn't allow travel between the US and Ontario... unless you have a blood relative living there.

I'd like to see the data plate, but I feel that more than likely it's a custom cabinet for a Granada or something.

You were close. It looks like it started out as a Canadian Consolette.

Something odd just happened. I requested the seller to send me a pic of the data plate. He sent the exact picture you just posted. Even the same serial number! :?
Where did you get your pic?

An orthophonic machine, similar to the HMV 157.
