This would have come with the standard-production nickel plated Victor Exhibition sound box, but a Victor #2 or #4 sound box will also fit the tonearm. I believe at the time that the Vic. II was produced, the "Concert" sound box was also an option, but those are quite rare and when they surface today they normally sell for several times more than an Exhibition sound box.

thats beautiful!!! yes thats the phonograph i have. so, your saying an exhibition, victor 2 an a victor 4 sound box will work? the "original" though came with an "exhibition" right? im trying to keep it original if i can. so i guess by what you said... im looking for a nickel plated exhibition reproducer. ive come across several of those particular reproducers on the web. a real nice one for 95 dollars with 300 needles. is that a good price in your opinion? im fairly new to the phonograph world, so im real careful before i buy anything. do you know of anyone who has a tone arm, or maybe does restorations? thanks for your time an help. i greatly appreciate it
