Victor I Talking Machine
The Victor I may be modest in size (8" diameter turntable), but it's BIG in sound. It employs the same soundbox (needlehead) that all the Victor machines have. So, it produces the same high quality sound from your 78s. Furthermore, this particular Victor I was equipped with an optional Victor horn -- bigger (and more expensive at the time), and producing greater volume and clarity.
Stunning golden oak cabinet. Note the brass plate bearing the world's most recognized trade mark -- "His Master's Voice."
The original gold filigree decoration on the bracket. We have carefully rebuilt and adjusted the soundbox (needlehead) to produce loud, bright and clear music. Here you may see the original "extension" adapter coupled with the elbow that allows the bigger horn to be fitted.
The Victor I employed the famous Victor worm-gear drive that simplified the design and concentrated the power. Any 10" 78 rpm record may be played. We carefully tweaked and adjusted this motor to produce smooth, reliable results.
The original Victor horn is in excellent original condition, in fact, we merely cleaned the black paint (with original "His Master's Voice" decal) and polished the brass. There are some minor dings and ripples in the metal body, as can be seen, but condition is clean, bright and in keeping with its age. The Victor I is a machine perfectly suited for someone with limited space, but a fancy for century-old fun.
