What Victor models were originally fitted with the Exhibition Jr. reproducers?

As far as I know, just the Royal.

Thanks George!

You're welcome, Jerry!

I’ve wondered the same as I’ve seen this reproducer occasionally on eBay. Thanks to Jerry for asking the question and to George for answering. Is this reproducer only found as a long throat?

It appears this never appeared in Europe. What was sold in Britain as the Exhibition Junior soundbox was a rebadged type O (Victor No. 15) soundbox.

Yes, I should have specified that Victor catalogs describe this as original equipment on early Royals. I've never seen an Exhibition Jr. as anything other than a long throat.

The small gramophone of my avatar has an Exhibition Junior soundbox. I don't remember now if it says American or English credits, though.
