Re: [Phono-L] MS on Ebay
Thoughts about this machine: It appears to have originated in Montevideo, Uruguay, per the celluloid dealer tag and also does not appear to have been drilled for a front mount bracket. Could this have been made by Victor for South American sales using leftover cases, motors and other parts? Otherwise, it may be a reproduction case, since I have seen some beautiful reproduction Victor VI cases, which could fool anyone, that were made in South America... Also, for such a fancy Monarch case, it is made of straight grained oak, as opposed to the more likely quarter-sawn oak used by Victor at that time.

You're right, the back bracket is very late, and the top alignment button was more common with the Schoolhouse horn, no??

Is this a put together Victor MS? A pre-dog case and motor with the record hold down spindle but with a late drop in elbow back bracket and horn elbow. I don't believe the horn would have the alignment button on top either.

Re: [Phono-L] MS on Ebay
The seller has dealt with phonos before and is fairly knowledgeable both about antiques in general and phonos in particular. I think he would have spotted a repro cabinet. I am also pretty certain that he would not knowingly mis-represent anything in the sale.
