I just browsed through the Victor Data Book (Bless you B. B.) and the only upright with dimensions in both directions that are 24" or more is a few iterations of the XVI. So, is this a common machine? Somewhere over 190K made over the lifetime of the model. The dimension changes overlap in years. It is hard to say how many of these really big ones were made/sold I think.

Is it a common Model ? or a expensive Art or High End Upright ? and what condition is the cabinet in ? I would think if it was a low end model with a crummy damaged cabinet, you would just salvage the parts, and trash the cabinet. However if it was a rare high end or Art Model worth saving it intact then you would try every which way to alter the door frame without dismantling the Victrola Cabinet. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron L'Herault" <[email protected]> To: "Antique Phonograph List" <[email protected]>, "Antique Phonograph List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, August 19, 2009 3:29:42 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [Phono-L] Entombed Victrola A friend has turned up an upright Victrola in the basement of a house being sold. The current owners of the house do not want the Victrola, or were unwilling to take it out of the basement, which is where it was when the bought the house. The problem is that in order to get the Victrola out, one has to remove the door frame or dismantle the case of the Victrola. How hard is it to take a Victrola case apart? They are glued with hide glue and screwed together also, right? Does one loosen hide glue with a hair dryer, water, steam or what?
