Up for sale is aAntique Victor V Victrola Talking Machine with a Wood Speartip Horn. I believe it is from 1908. Overall it is in great original condition for 100+ years old. Turn the crank and the platter spins freely. I am sure a good lubrication and servicing would only improve it. The Oak wood is in very good condition with no signs of any damage. The speartip horn also is in great condition. The elbow connector is a little out of round. I am not sure why or if it is supposed to be that way. Included is a package of needles.
The Victor V started out as the \"Victor D\" model in 1903, and then was transitioned to Victor V nomenclature around 1906 when the tapered arm was first used, but there was some overlap in production with the identical D Model series. Selling for $60.00, it featured a large triple-spring motor, a brass horn, and a tapered tonearm. The cabinet was made of oak, and was larger than the Victor IV. The Victor V was produced up until the early 1920\'s, by which time it\'s price had been raised to $67.50. Approximately 51,000 of these phonographs were produced. This Victor V comes with the optional spearpoint wood horn.
