A very fine "Victor the Fifth", one of Victor's best outside horn phonographs, costing $67.50 when new in 1907, about half a year's wages for the... average workingman.
The solid oak cabinet measures 16.5" x 16.5", with corner pillars and overall "Mission" styling.
Victor's finest motor, a large 3-spring type that drives a 12" turntable, is nickel plated and will play many records between windings. The tapered tone arm is fitted with an Exhibition reproducer.
The motor has been professionally cleaned and serviced, and the reproducer rebuilt. The later-made excellent smooth-sided oak horn is by Don Gfell, virtually indistinguishable from an original, and without the dings, splits or other defects most horns exhibit after 110+ Years. Besides being a curator of the Milan, Ohio Birthplace of Edison Museum, and having his own private Edison museum of mechanical wonders, Don is well-known for superb restorations and custom production of wood horns, as this one is his creation. For those of you unfamiliar with Don's work, he is acknowledged to be the best in the business.
This is your opportunity to acquire a real showpiece for your home, and if you want a matching record cabinet to go underneath, we have several to choose from as well at musicaltreasuresofmiami.com.
BONUS: We will supply a tin of needles and a selection of 78-rpm records together with your purchase.
We will only ship this via FedEx. NO USPS shipping due to the current COVID pandemic, which has post offices around the world shut down.

We do our own packing and shipping, so it is done right, using fresh, new materials, not stuff we picked out of a local dumpster.
