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.

I am not sure that left the factory as a Victor model.

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.GregVTLA wrote: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.

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.
