  • Notes
  • Typical fake made in India. Still available by mail order from India for less than 100 bucks fob. Often offered for sale for incredible price. The type label belongs to a Victrola, which uses a built-in horn. The case has no ornaments at the 4 corners, as the Victor machines with horns show, but the plain style being found at Victrolas is here not from a Victrola, since it lacks the doors in front of the built-in horn.
    Few original parts from different sources, like the spring motor, completed using coarse made items:
    brass horn,
    horn support arm,
    sound box not yet identified.
