Hi Randy, You may be happy to hear that on just sold on Ebay for $1,136.11 on Feb 13th. The item # is 6603694838. I had it on my watch page, and was quite surprised to see how high it got. It basically was a painted VV 1-1 with decals applied.

I don't think they are too hard to find. However, you may have one with a metal diaphragm which would sound better for electrically recorded records if that is what you play on it.

On ours, the turntable felt is green, but appears to be original. The crank on ours is painted black. Our machine is missing the original reproducer too. It has a later looking reproducer that is made from an off-white metal , with a red, plastic cover over the diaphram. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Sent: Mon, 27 Feb 2006 05:05:26 GMT Subject: Re: [Phono-L] toy talking machine Hi Randy - Check this link to see my Victor 1-2 and see if it looks like yours...
