Good Lord! If pieces are worth that much I'd consider parting out my Victor R

Holy hold down Batman!! The way I figure it based on this, (which is NOT normal) parting out an R or early E with all original parts in good condition would net you $1500-1700. That's just crazy.

It looks like they are selling most of a Victor R, too. Let's stay tuned and see how much that sells for....

I'm not sure this last one is original. Something about the knurling does not look right. Could be an old reproduction.
