Victrola VV 4-40 built 1927
Click here for comments :-) The front The top Victrola trademark under the top - when you lift it up. A metal plate attached above the turntable.The McCoy´s shop from where it has originally been purchased (?) and a note about McCoy´s in "Presto" from 1920. The metal plate located above the turntable The notice paper located underneath with the date 1927-01-24 Record brush with the name of the shop (from 1927 aswell?) and needles Victrolas own "Soundbox" - original from 1927? Other manufacturers called it "Reproducer". The "heart" of it all..and very fragile...the sound on a phonograph is as good as your soundbox or reproducer. Another angle of the soundbox. The only missing piece...I think it has been a pin of some sort going down in order to stabilisize the arm. The green stuff seems to be some sort of corrugation.I use this temporarerly solution until I can find someone who might repair it. Also, though this beautiful VV 4-40 works perfectly, it is a good idea to let someone take a look at the spring motors... maybe put some oil or grease into it....just for precaution. |
