The motor is a modern electric type - you can see the rubber idler
wheel, and the platter is a modern type, probably matching the motor
assembly. The cabinet looks homemade. It appears that the only collectible
part on it is the ID tag.

Sorry, I came in late on this. Someone obviously attached the ID plate for
an Orthophonic table model to another Victor. But which Victor did they
attach it to ? and what was that crazy little turntable from ?

I think that many Ebay sellers claim ignorance about what the phono they
are selling really is when they know full well it is junk.
If this was a real onsite auction or estate sale you could more closely
examine a piece, get a better feel for it and make a decision. No matter
how many pictures you have on Ebay you really don't have the same
feeling for an item as you do in person.
Saying buyer beware is simplistic in this situation. You still need some
sense of honesty and cooperation from the seller if there was a
misunderstanding of what the item is instead of the usual glee taken
when a novice collector or even a older collector in a hurry
misunderstands what is for sale and gets taken.

I am a little shocked here. Not sure who is being taken, item does not
seem to be misrepresented and the pictures are clear. A bidder has a
responsibility to follow through on their contract win or lose. What am I
missing???

Friends,
It's a hard thing to admit that you've been taken, but the good thing is
that it was not for much and I have not paid him yet. But if this is at
least a real Victrola I will have no problems paying him.
Can somebody tell me what I purchased?

They said it is a Victrola VV I-90 but it's not so what is this?
Thank you Bill
