Hi, Does anyone have any information on the value of this motor? I've never had this one before. Thanks in advance, Mike

Do you think you could provide a bit more information... there are a few Victor motors out there.

And just like that a photo magically appears!

Impossible without more information- your question is like "How much is this Ford car worth?"

Yeah, I thought that listing was to easy. Then I remembered the picture.

Looks to me like a Victrola XII motor.

Thanks, That's great! What would the value be?

Dear Artglass86,

It's worth whatever someone is willing to pay on the day you sell it!

The best way to find out would be to list it on Ebay with a low opening bid and find out.

PS: if you have the turntable and any other parts it would be worth more.

Harold Braker's Victor and Victrola motor guide is on this board.

It's a Victrola XII motor which is quite unusual. It might be difficult to find someone that needs that particular motor because the XII sold in very small numbers. I suspect the components in the motor such as the spring barrels, governor, and spindle are common with the Vic VI or VTLA motor. I think the ebay suggestion is your best bet for getting good value.
