The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Here for sale is a really nice Victor O. A very nice original machine except the outside of the horn has been re-painted properly and beautifully with a new decal. This machine plays outstandingly loud! A new mainspring has been installed as well. Will make a nice machine for your collection!

What does "need" have to do with collecting. We don't really "need" any of them.

It's "want" that drives us all.

Is that the correct tone arm and reproducer for a Victor 0? All examples I’ve seen
was different.

Yes. Everything is correct and original. There were a couple of different styles of tone arm and reproducers on these models

Very true, Chuck.

I agree on technical terms that “need” is incorrect. However, philosophically speaking, doesn’t “need” come about as a result of a desire to satisfy one’s “want”?

In any event, nice machine (which I don’t want, thus do not need).

Cheers,
