Hello Bruce, Here is some information. I wrote with a person on eBay that was selling a 2-65 and below is the info I found. I have not found anything further about portables from the the 1930's or later.
Steve http://www.victor-victrola.com/2-65.htm The VV 2-65 was a premium portable model introduced around 1930, after RCA had purchased the Victor Talking Machine Company. It featured gold plated hardware, a wood case covered with a textured brown fabric material brown covering. Like the VV 2-55, it used an Orthophonic Sound Box and a single spring motor. The 2-65 was discontinued around 1933. > Date: Sun, 25 Oct 2009 23:25:48 +0000 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Questions about a General Phonograph Model E > > I could be wrong, but there doesn't seem to be any information on RCA Victor > Suitcase Style crank Victrolas made after 1930.
