I have noticed that some Victors have all gold striping and others have blue and gold striping. Was there a reason for this? Does this date a machine?Was there a previous thread written bout this subject?

Possibly by model? My vic 1 has only gold, my Vic M has gold and blue, although the bracket may have come from a III (it's not original to the machine). I'm pretty sure most III and up I've seen have gold and blue. Any one? Bueler?

OK...i think I take that back..just saw a 6 on ebay with only gold.

I may be way off track but I think early machine had gold only and blue with gold was slightly later. When, I don't know. Jerry Blais
