Record Player

[CamoQueen]

Ok, i got this not too long ago. It is a victor victrola portable record player. The thing is that i cant find a model number on it and dont want to take it apart. It seems to be from the 30's or so but would like to know the actual date of making. Here is a few photos, if anyone can find a photo or something of the same one it would be helpful.... Thanks!!!

Does it have the round insert for 45rpm records?If it does,then it's from early '50's,otherwise '40's,or does it have a dial selector for 78rpm or 45rpm?Same time frame applies.

how deep was it?

Don't know where my last reply went,but,taking a closer look,does it have a place(hole) for a crank to go in?If it does,then the 30's is correct.Take a look----

I'm believe it could be slightly earlier (1920's). There is usually a data tag underneath the turntable. Let us know if you if you find something there, or feel free to curse me for wasting your time if you don't.

I think CRUSADER wanted the measurements. But you never know about the people from the other side. Besides they are known for have a funny sense of humor. La Beep

It looks like it's about the same age as this one I have . Mines a Brunswick , It plays good too , I have several hundred old 78's . It's fun listening to them . I have a box full of needles , that you have to change quite often . I'm thinking 1920's era .
We found this one in our barn .
