Well, that depends, this phongraph had no ID plate, and it shouldn't, as it wasn't produced by the Victor factory. As far as Victor selling motors to unauthorised factories.......I'm not aware of such transactions. I would have thought Baumbach would have included at least one of these in his book(s) including later pressings. One would think after 70 + years, one of these would appear much earlier......

I am looking for a table top model, preferably wood, with art deco features. Does anyone have any suggestions of where to look? Or anything for sale, you can contact me offlist ([email protected]). I've found lots of old radios and victrols, but few turntables. I'm looking for something in good playing condition. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
