Hi there A friend of mine recently bought some outside horn Victor machines in Mexico, and they all had colorful horns, mostly Hawthorne and Sheble horns. One wonders what became of the factory horns. J

I recently picked up a IV with an MG (though not a Victor MG -- I've been told it's a "US" horn, a little rounder on the petals, looks very nice) but personally I like the black-and-brass horns better, at least for this machine, and I was planning to post up here to see if anyone might be interested in trading a b&b horn for my MG. I'm not positive, but it seems that a 16.5" horn would be the right size; so far I haven't seen one. Are they hard to find? Anyone interested in a trade? As for your dilemma, John, I'd say it's just a matter of personal taste, but most folks seem to prefer the MG. Not me, though, apparently. --RR >From: john robles >Reply-To: Antique Phonograph List >To: phono-l@oldcrank.org >Subject: [Phono-L] Got a Victor Brass Belled Horn? >Date: Mon, 1 Jan 2007 18:56:01 -0800 (PST) > >Hi folks > I was thinking, I had asked if anyone could help me find a VIctor IV MG >horn, but I am thinking I might want a brass belled horn instead.
