Funny you should have this dilemma, John -- I'm in the same boat. I recently picked up a IV with an MG (though not a Victor MG -- I've been told it's a "US" horn, a little rounder on the petals, looks very nice) but personally I like the black-and-brass horns better, at least for this machine, and I was planning to post up here to see if anyone might be interested in trading a b&b horn for my MG. I'm not positive, but it seems that a 16.5" horn would be the right size; so far I haven't seen one. Are they hard to find? Anyone interested in a trade? As for your dilemma, John, I'd say it's just a matter of personal taste, but most folks seem to prefer the MG. Not me, though, apparently. --RR >From: john robles <john9ten at pacbell.net> >Reply-To: Antique Phonograph List <phono-l at oldcrank.org> >To: phono-l at oldcrank.org >Subject: [Phono-L] Got a Victor Brass Belled Horn? >Date: Mon, 1 Jan 2007 18:56:01 -0800 (PST) > >Hi folks > I was thinking, I had asked if anyone could help me find a VIctor IV MG >horn, but I am thinking I might want a brass belled horn instead.
