This is not a common machine, it was the last "deluxe"orthophonic to be offered in the Victor Catalog. According to LFTD, this was Victors attempt to redesign its Flagship Model credenza, and it never really achieved any where near the sales of the more successful 8-30 model. I am assuming the x designation means that it is equiped with an electric turntable. According to LFTD, only 5,104 Electric Turntable versions of this model were produced. and 4,925 crank versions. I hesitate to estimate what one of these might be worth even with the defects you mention, I would assume that it would command a pretty good price, maybe $800-1200 due to the scarceness of this model. I am sure other more informed folks will chime in on this one, and I may be even very low on my estimate.

phono folks: I will attend an auction tomorrow and would like some guidance as to bidding on a phono. I do realize that condition is the issue, however maybe some info would help. What I am considering is a Victor 8-35 x in mahogany in good condition. I presume it works and has little if any veneer problems. Some of the veneer is loose at the back of the top,, however I think it is all remaining, just loose. What might I consider as reasonable boundaries for this machine. Your help is appreciated. thanks for the help in advance.
