THIS
ITEM IS SOLD
VICTOR "III"
A stunning machine, expertly restored, with the original paint on the Victor flower horn. Now, doesn't everyone claim that their machines are expertly
restored? YES! However, they are not up to the standards of
phonophan. Tim has a degree in Fine Arts and is a lifelong studio
painter -- these qualities and credentials of professional artistic
vision go into every instrument that phonophan sells. We
have
carefully calibrated the
components to return this machine to the condition it enjoyed when it
left the factory in Camden, NJ well over a century ago.
His Master's Voice -- the legendary trade mark.
All the components are clean and bright. We have revived the
brack bracket with beautiful, historically accurate gold filigree.
The
"soundbox" -- or needlehead -- is entirely responsible for the quality
of the music the III puts forth.
Victor's
"Exhibition" soundbox is both sensitive and sturdy. We have completely
taken it apart, replaced the rubber gaskets, tuned, balanced and
adjusted to
give it the power to entertain you brightly, boldly, brilliantly.
A huge failing of other sellers' machines is the poor sound
quality. Other sellers often fail to gasp the basic concept of how the
soundbox works, and so consequently their work is substandard.
The paint of the horn is original, however the original "His Master's
Voice" decal had been damaged by a previous owner's effort to "clean"
it. Consequently, we discreetly applied a historically correct
replica, accurate in the smallest detail to the original.
The mechanics are just as clean as the rest of it. Why
are OUR
machines better than any other
seller's? Because we don't "jury rig" our machines with whatever junk
we have laying around the shop to get them out the door. We adjust and
test our machines for the best results. It seems like bragging,
and it really is, but the other sellers could never offer this level of
quality.
Ladies and gentlemen, we
present for your delectation the Victor "III." As always, we took the
instrument down to its constituent parts and painstakingly cleaned to
each one without damaging the original patina. Our
machines are checked, tested and guaranteed to work properly. We put
our 55
years of experience into each one.
Price: $1995.00 plus s/h, (NY State residents must add tax if
applicable).
