Hello all, Can anyone Id this model of a Victor machine? Disc machines are not my type of interest as much as cylinders are so I don't know much about them. I'm sure plenty of you will know it as soon as you see it
Thank you

Total dilettante here, but isn't the crank hole in the wrong place for a II? Maybe a 1 or a late rear mount Z?

It might be a 1. I doubt its a z, didn't they stop making Z's by the time the body style with no columns came out?

I mentioned a Z because one popped up on eBay that looks like a 1 but has a Z tag. It's eBay, so who knows.

True. Although I notice the tag is in a different place, & it seems to be a smaller cabinet

A mystery machine! The crank position matches the later style Vic I not the Vic II, yet the bullet brake is in the wrong place and for a Vic I and the motor board latch should be on the rear not the side (the picture resolution is too low to tell)? The horn isn't a slip in like on the later Vic 1s.
As far as I know, the Vic Z only overlapped with the 8" Vic I's, not this later style case. Victor did on occasion put its cheaper machines out with different configurations sometimes without good documentation.
So I conclude IDK... .
