If I'm reading the book correctly no IV came with a Number 2 reproducer but it could have been an upgrade by an original owner, who knows. The brake in the rear right indicates a IV A, 1912-1914, with serial numbers from 46546 t0 48215. If this is the case, it should have a round dial speed regulator. None of them had the speed indicator dial in a window. In fact, a quick scan shows that only a couple school house models had the speed indicator dial with moving pointer.

Hi all! I have misplaced my Victor Data Book and need information on a Victor IV machine. Any help from you fine folks would be fantastic! I have a friend out in Arizona that has been given a nice Vic IV from a family member. He wants to sell it and contacted me. It is mahogany with the nice columns, and has a black flower petal horn. The things that sound strange to me are: - The brake is a Victrola brake located in the back right hand side - The speed control is a Victrola dial indicator type. The pin control with the see through speed indicator with arrow. Victrolas such as the Victrola 120 and the 4-7 have this type. - The reproducer is a No. 2 He is having problems with his computer, therefore I do not have any photos. If this is a legit machine, what is a fair price for it? Also, if this is correct, would this machine be less valuable than a machine with the conventional bullet brake and speed control? Again thanks to all for making this a great site! Brantley South Carolina </HTML> _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org
