Victor II With Flowered Horn for sale

The Victor II is a favorite of phonograph and record collectors, offering Victor quality and reliability at a modest price.

This is earlier, fancier more desirable version, with the wooden "hump" in the rear of the case, giving rise to its nickname as the Humpback Two. My best guess guess is that this example dates between 1909-1916.

The morning glory horn with hand-painted flowers is an original aftermarket horn, very unusual, scarce, and highly sought after.

I have done some work on the motor to get this to run as nice as possible. I pulled and re-greased the mainspring (a major job), cleaned up the gearing, and lubricated the turntable shaft bearing.

I also rebuilt the reproducer, and put a new rubber flange on it for air tightness.

The machine runs and sounds great, as you can hear on the audio file or on the youtube video.

Cosmetically, the back bracket has very good original paint and decal work. The nickel plating on the tone arm is also very good.

It looks as if someone at one time had wiped some of the finish down to lighten the cabinet closer to its original color. The horn shows some weathering and minor creasing, but is still very decent; it's a minor miracle to find one of these horns in any kind of condition.

An unassailable choice as a starter machine to play your 78rpm records.
