VINTAGE WICKER RATTAN - PORTABLE Crank Phonograph / Record Player RCA VICTROLA?
MEASURES APPROX: 14" X 14" X 14"
THIS IS A TRULY UNIQUE HAND CRANK PHONOGRAPH. I DO NOT BELIEVE ONE CAN FIND ANOTHER ONE LIKE IT. THE LID HAS A EMBOSSED RCA DOG NIPPER EMBLEM SO I AM GUESSING ITS RCA. SOME COMPANIES MADE WICKER RATTAN FLOOR MODEL PHONOGRAPHS (I PRESUME USING RCA PARTS). I AM GUESSING EITHER A COMPANY MADE THIS A LONG TIME AGO OR SOMEONE ALSO A LONG TIME AGO M...ADE THIS OUT OF A VICTROLA. IT IS VERY UNIQUE AND INTERESTING. I HAD TO REASSEMBLE IT BACK TOGETHER A LITTLE BIT AND ADD SOME RISERS THAT WERE MISSING. (I AM HANDY NOT A VICTROLA EXPERT.) I DO NOT HAVE A CRANK FOR THE PLAYER BUT I FOUND A SCREW WITH THE SAME THREADS AND SCREWED IT IN SO I CAN WIND IT WITH A SCREWDRIVER. THE SCREW COMES OUT EASILY SO ONE CAN USE A HANDLE IF THEY GOT ONE. IT PLAYED RECORDS OKAY. THE REPRODUCER LOOKS TO BE CRACKED BUT DOES NOT FEEL CRACKED BUT I THOUGHT THE RECORD SOUNDED A LITTLE OFF. BEING SOLD AS IS FOR PARTS OR REPAIR. SEE PICTURES OF THIS TRULY UNIQUE ITEM FOR GREATER DETAILS.
