While you all are talking about the bronze, oxidized Victor R...it brings back a fond memory of mine. My first front mount was a Victor P that I purchased in 1973. I really knew nothing about phonographs back then. I DID have sense enough to know that the Thorens reproducer was "most likely" a replacement part. Of course I later got a long necked Exhibition from Neuman Miller. As for the hardware, the horn support and motor bedplate was a dull or dirty grey/silver. It looked like spray paint. I left it as it was. Some years later...maybe in the 1980's I learned that the Victor P's (and R's) had the oxidized bronze, tiger finish. I tried a little paint remover and WALLA! I had a tiger striped, bronze oxidized Victor P after all! A belated, but sincere Happy New Year to all, Dennis _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org
