More information about the Victor
This improved version of the II had an enlarged oak cabinet and other accouterments -- and this particular example is in superb condition. The original cabinet finish is exceptionally light and bright. The hardware is shiny. The wooden horn Victor supplied with this instrument (the "smooth" oak horn) was in our opinion the most eye-engaging, fantastically-figured wooden horn the company produced. We meticulously restored the finish on this horn using Victor factory materials -- aniline dye stain and good old fashioned shellac. It matches the original finish of the cabinet perfectly.
Vintage quarter-sawn oak. It's pretty amazing -- this is the original, century-old finish. Note the famous "His Master's Voice" logo on the ID plate.
The original back-bracket with excellent original filigree. Pay special attention to the fine condition of the nickel-plated hardware. Of course, the soundbox has been carefully rebuilt and adjusted to produce loud, clear, bright and beautiful music!
The motor runs smoothly, quietly and plays through any 78 rpm record. It performs today as it did a century ago ! This Victor II looks and plays great!
