Hope all are well. I have been in the market for sometime for a nice Victor Jr. I have had the opportunity to purchase several of the later models with the black horn. I am holding out for an all original red horn one. Any idea as to how many red horn Juniors were made? Is there anyone in this group that has one for sale? Thanks for all of your help!

And yes, $500.00 will not meet the reserve, and yes, the seller will take a 'buy it now' for the wonderful price of $3500.00! Wait until you read the description. I am sure that the seller worked hard restoring this phonograph, but one would think that he may have gone a bit too far! The seller goes on to say that the Victor workmanship and original design of the internal horn was flawed because of welded joints distorting the sound. So he, the seller filed down the seams during his unbelievable overhaul of the machine to give the best sound possible. (Give me a break....) He also includes a sweet little home made cover as well. Any way, I don't think a veteran collecter would fall for this offer, but for first timers....first timers with alot of money...well maybe. I think that a complete redo of any machine, unless it was a basket case, really takes away the value of the machine. I have seen some Victor VI phonographs redone so well that they look like they have the reproduction case made over seas. I am extremely cautions of these machines, especially when the papers are gone. I guess I like a little character. I guess that is why my wife puts up with m...@#@... Keer 'er rippin at 78!

It's a little too shiny for my taste, sure, and I don't think anyone should pay that much for a IX, but he did a fabulous restoration job on it and it looks great. He may not have known when to quit, perhaps, but I don't think there's anything for a buyer to "fall for" in this listing whatsoever. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, April 06, 2008 4:07 PM Subject: [Phono-L] What A Deal - Check Out Ebay Item # 330225761652 For AVictrola > Hey, if any of you are in the market for a Victrola IX, there is one on > ebay. > And yes, $500.00 will not meet the reserve, and yes, the seller will take > a > 'buy it now' for the wonderful price of $3500.00! > > Wait until you read the description.
