Randy,
A number of Victor 1-2's have sold on eBay recently and they do pretty
well, particularly it the original paint and figures are in good shape.
What puzzled me about he last on I saw was that to save a little money
Victor didn't even put a plywood bottom board on it. You could tell this
because the 1-2 label was on the bottom of the enclosed horn. I can't
remember the selling prices but I think it was in the $200 to $400 range.
