[78-L] Warner "Big Band" set - Go watch it! <vbg>

[Jeff Austin]

Your machine has some interesting history:  it was produced just as Victor was being acquired by RCA.  The record-playing aspect of it is to be avoided... the arm and horseshoe magnetic cartridge were record-killers.  The original speaker, however, in this unit was designed by the engineers at Victor Talking Machine Company.  It was far ahead of its time and superior to what RCA used in subsequent Electrola models.

Hey, I have a Victrola (actually a Victor Radio with Electrola) in the front 
hallway! Mainly because it weighs a ton and hasn't worked since the early 50s, 
so if I ever find someone who can work on it (and replace the motor, which is 
25 cycle) it won't have to be moved very far. It's an RE 45.

Not in quite as good shape as this one.
