Lot 399		Victor Talking Machine VV-VI "Victrola the Sixth" Introduced Mid-Year in 1911.

All Victor cabinets were made by outside suppliers; assembly of the mechanical components was completed at the Victor plant in Camden, NJ. This player used simple wood baffles to direct the sound to the front horn-opening 'slats'; closable doors were used to control the sound volume. It was not until 1913 that an actual horn assembly (consisting of a cast iron elbow and wood horn mouth) was used internally to improve the sound volume. Operates well and displays great.
